Children’s Roller and Inline Skate Safety Standards to Be Revised in South Korea
On
September 17, 2025, South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy
(MOTIE) announced a draft amendment to the safety standards for roller skates
and inline skates, under the Supplier’s Conformity Confirmation requirements
for children’s products with individual safety standards. The amendment aims to
reflect the characteristics of currently marketed products and align
classification and testing methods with international standards.
Key
Amendments
- Change product classification from size-based to weight-based
- Remove the distinction between leisure and competition use,
applying a single standard
- Adjust the height of protrusions on test device surfaces and
testing methods to meet international standards:
-
EN 13899: Roller sports equipment - Roller skates - Safety requirements and
test methods
-
EN 13843: Roller sports equipment - Inline-skates - Safety requirements and
test methods
