(1) Reasons for Proposal

As the Environmental Technology and Industry Support Act has been revised (Act No.17183, promulgated on Mar. 31, 2020, and to be enforced on Oct. 1, 2020) to strengthen the sanctions for refusing, interfering with, or evading the presentation of data, access, or inspections to improve the effectiveness of follow-up management for the certification of eco-label, this amendment aims to determine the matters delegated by the Act, such as removing eco-labels and submitting implementation outcomes, and that is necessary for its enforcement. In addition, since Article 18 (6) of the Act (Act No.13892, promulgated on Jan. 27, 2016, and enforced on Jul. 28, 2016), the base provision of the report on the change of a certification institution, was deleted, this amendment, based on this, aims to delete the detailed procedures, etc., necessary for reporting changes.

(2) Major Provisions

A. Determine the details on the removal of eco-labels, etc., and the submission of implementation outcomes (Article 44-2 and attached Form No. 33) 

B. Delete the necessary procedures and forms related to the report on the change of a certification institution (Article 37 (4) and attached Form No. 28)
