Abstract

This study investigated major issues and contents related to the safety of household goods and children's products, and devised effective safety management policy. Also, we analyzed the difference of consumers' perceptions and needs and the influential factors according to the major issues according to the changes of the legislation on product safety management. In addition, we conducted in-depth interviews and consultations with consumers, consumer groups, business operators, consumer experts, and safety management officers on changes and major issues related to product safety management and sought to establish a consumer-oriented product safety management law system. The main results of this study are as follows. First, according to the results of the regression analysis, consumers' awareness of strengthening safety certification of household goods is not a resident of Seoul or metropolitan area. In the case of the unemployed, it was positive. In addition, the lower the age of women, the lower the marital status and the experience of industrial products, and the higher the level of awareness of strengthening the safety certification of apparel products for workers working in factory manufacturing. In the case of women, married children, and youngest children, the perception of strengthening the safety certification of children's products was positive when it was not factory or manufacturing workers. Second, as a result of investigating the acceptance of price increase due to KC safety certification, household goods showed higher age, higher household incomes, and more acceptance than college graduates. In the case of children's products, it was found that the older the married person, the younger the aged, the more experienced the graduate, the worker, On the other hand, the mandatory disclosure of authentication information by mall operators and importers is positive when they do not live in the Seoul metropolitan area, and when there is no experience of marriage or industrial damage. Also, the demand for post - safety enhancement of the product was found to be high in married and factory manufacturing workers. Third, as a result of investigating the direction of product safety management policy through in - depth interview, it was suggested that the paradigm shift of consumer safety policy, that is, consumer - oriented safety policy is urgent. Consumer safety is a priority, but a balanced product safety management policy that does not raise consumer prices is necessary. There were many opinions that it is necessary to simplify safety certification process of product, to give safety certification by only product test, to reduce regular inspection cycle, and to shorten safety certification time. In addition, there were many opinions that it is not necessary to regulate the everyday life products such as clothes to have the same certification duty as the electric appliances that are directly connected with fire or other human accidents. Finally, there are many claims that it should be shifted from pre-safety management to post-safety management-oriented safety management policy. To this end, there were many opinions that it was necessary to actively utilize defects in product defects, reinforcement of collective injury relief, and punitive damages system.
