February 19, 2021, the Korean national legislation Center issued Notice No. 467, which revised the aquatic food production qualification, application name, and traditional food certification provisions in “Food Industry Promotion Law". Part of the revised content is:

(1) Revise the declaration procedures for the aquatic product processing industry;

(2) Relevant provisions for revision of product name application;

(3) Revise procedures and methods for quality certification of aquatic traditional foods. Applicants who require aquatic traditional food quality certification should submit additional materials such as the production, sales performance and variety manufacturing report of the product to the certification body within the last 6 months. After the certification body accepts the application, it must pass the factory audit and product audit to confirm whether the quality is certified.
