Short answer
Ask a supplier to show country-of-origin evidence you can check yourself, a legal entity name, registered barcodes and test reports, and to say plainly what is not certified. For Water Healer, FLORENCE Co., Ltd. in Paju, Korea prints Made in Korea on the head-type product, lists the Republic of Korea as country of manufacture in its official Korean store, holds GS1 Korea barcodes and shares 4 KTR test reports (August 2026) with qualified buyers on request.
"Made in Korea" is easy to write on a web page and harder to prove. This checklist is for importers, distributors and private-label brands who want to verify a Korean shower filter supplier before they order. It also shows how Water Healer, run by FLORENCE Co., Ltd., answers each point. Where something is not available, we say so.

How to read a test report
A test report lists the items tested, the method and the test body. It describes the samples that were tested under the stated conditions. It does not by itself prove how a product performs in every home, and it is not a finished-product certificate. That is why we describe our KTR reports as test reports, share them with qualified buyers on request, and do not publish the figures on the website. See our Quality page for what we can document today.
