KC Certification-EMC | RF | SAR

Korea Certification EMC testing typically covers the majority of electronic products marketed in Korea, and depending on the product's wireless functions, either RF or SAR testing may be required. This is a mandatory certification system operated by RRA and is divided into three parts: Certification of Conformity, Registration of Conformity, and Interim of Conformity. All products manufactured, imported, and sold in Korea shall be approved according to related procedures. 

 

 

 ▮ Certification of Conformity 

Equipment that can harm Korea's radio environment or broadcasting communication network, as well as those whose normal operation can cause significant electromagnetic disturbances and/or be affected by radio waves, are subject to the certification of conformity. Products with wireless functions fall under this category. This includes 5G NR, LTE, MPR and more. 

 

 

▮ Registration of Conformity 

Broadcasting and communication equipment (e.g. Wi-Fi, BT, SRD) that is not subject to the certification of conformity and most of the products without wireless functions fall under this category. There are two types of registration of conformity: registration via a designated testing laboratory or registration through self-testing. This includes most electric/electronic products including home appliances, industrial equipment. 

 

 

 ▮ Interim of Conformity

If there are no criteria for assessing the conformity of the broadcasting and communication equipment or if it is difficult to assess the conformity for whatever reason, the conformity can be assessed using domestic and international standards, specifications, or technical regulations.
