KC Certification Classification of Conformity Assessment
In South Korea, KC Certification is
essential for ensuring that equipment related to the radio environment and
communication networks meets safety and performance standards. Depending on the
level of risk and the type of equipment, manufacturers, sellers, and importers
must follow different conformity assessment.
KC Conformity Certification
Anyone who intends to manufacture, sell, or
import equipment that may pose a risk to the radio environment or communication
networks, or that could cause significant electromagnetic interference or be
affected to the point where it disrupts normal operation, must obtain a conformity
certification. This certification requires passing tests based on compliance
evaluation standards at a designated testing institution, followed by an
assessment by the National Radio Research Agency.
KC Conformity Registration
Anyone who intends to manufacture, sell, or
import equipment that poses a somewhat lower risk to the radio environment or
communication networks, or that could cause electromagnetic interference or be
affected to the extent that it disrupts normal operation—though to a lesser
degree than equipment requiring compliance certification—must undergo testing
based on compliance evaluation standards at a designated testing institution.
After filling out a certificate that confirms the equipment meets these
standards, they must then proceed with conformity registration.
KC Self Conformity Verification
Anyone who intends to manufacture, sell, or
import equipment for measurement, testing, industrial, or scientific purposes
that poses a low risk to the radio environment or communication networks must
conduct compliance testing either independently or through a designated testing
institution. This testing can also be performed by a testing institution
recognized by a domestic or international accreditation body that has signed a
mutual recognition agreement on conformity assessment with an international accreditation
cooperation organization. After completing the testing and preparing a self
conformity verification, the results must be published on the National Radio
Research Agency’s website.
KC Provisional Certification
If compliance evaluation standards for
broadcasting and communication equipment have not been established, or if
compliance evaluation is difficult for other reasons, anyone who intends to
manufacture, sell, or import such equipment may obtain provisional
certification. This requires conducting a compliance evaluation based on
domestic or international standards, regulations, and technical criteria, after
which conditions such as region and validity period may be applied to the
provisional certification.
