The reduced allowed amount of phthalates (DEHP, DBP) in Korea is identical to the allowed amount in EU and US. (0.1% by combined weight)

To be precise, they are only restricted on certain products like children's toys and clothing, which is the product found to be problematic.

i suppose i could have said that korea, the eu, and the usa have recently reduced their permitted levels of phthalates to unjustifiably low levels, but given the fact that we're talking about products made in prc for export to south korea, the other random jurisdictions in the list hardly seem relevant
