KC Certification-Energy Efficiency

KC Certification-Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is mostly applied to home and office appliances and is also voluntarily applicable to industrial products and facilities.

The Energy Efficiency system is comprised of the following three programs. 



▮ MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard) Program

This is a mandatory program arranged to induce domestic manufacturers and importers to make and sell energy efficient products. Efficiency ratings are labeled from 1 through 5, and the minimum energy performance standard (MEPS), the lower limit of energy consumption efficiency, applies.

Products that do not comply with the MEPS are prohibited from manufacturing and selling.


▪ Products subject to the MEPS program

Refrigerator, washing machine, water heater/cooler, vacuum cleaner, electric fan, air purifier, AC adapter, TV, etc.

 

▪ Energy consumption efficiency rating label






▮e-Standby Program

This is a mandatory program that encourages the reduction of standby power of electronic products while they are not being used.


▪ Products subject to the e-Standby program

Computer, monitor, printer, fax, copier, scanner, audio device, microwave, server, wired/wireless router, etc.

 

▪ Standby power warning and energy saving mark



Not satisfied, mandatory mark




Satisfied, voluntary mark





▮ High-efficiency Certification Program

This is a voluntary program in which the government certifies products that satisfy a certain energy consumption efficiency level. 


▪ Products subject to the high-efficiency certification program

Gas boiler, temperature and humidity chamber, pump, UPS, ESS, LED exit light, light luminaire, LED lamp, etc.

 

▪ High-efficiency mark

  On December 13th, the government announced plans to enhance the competitiveness of the secondary battery industry during an emergency economic ministerial meeting.   A bill will be introduced by 2024 to systematically promote the post-use battery industry. A three-stage safety inspection system will also be implemented for the secure distribution and utilization of electric vehicles with used batteries and reusable products. Batteries meeting performance criteria are recognized as products from the dismantling stage, with extended storage periods for recycling and mandatory information input at each lifecycle stage through legislation. The patent review period for secondary batteries will be shortened from 21 to 10 months. Exemptions for electric sales permits will be granted to electric two-wheeler battery exchange services, and support will be provided for new markets like secondary battery subscriptions.

  Freepik The Ministry of Science and ICT announced that the revised Radio Wave Act Enforcement Decree, which relaxes regulations on radio wave utilization, will come into effect from March 26th. The main contents of the revised Radio Wave Act Enforcement Decree are as follows. 1. The full exemption of spectrum usage fees for small and medium-sized MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) has been extended until 2024. Starting from 2025, spectrum usage fees will be gradually imposed. 2. The Unified Wireless Station Inspection Schedule System will be implemented. Multiple wireless stations located in the same installation site or operated by the same facility owner with different inspection schedules will be improved to allow for joint regular inspections. 3. The approval process for public 5G Integrated Repeaters (i5G) installed or equipped on robots, intelligent CCTVs, and others will be relaxed from a permit system to a notification system. 4. Reduction of Safety Assessment Fees for
