KC EMC Self-Conformity Verification System

The Self-Conformity Verification System has been implemented following the enforcement of the Radio Waves Act on July 24, 2024.


1. What is the Self-Conformity Verification System?

Self-Conformity Verification is a system that allows manufacturers, importers, or sellers to conduct conformity assessment tests on products with low radio wave risk by themselves or through a testing agency, confirm compliance, and then prepare and manage a Self-Conformity Verification Declaration, which is disclosed on the RRA website, enabling the immediate release of the products.


2. What products are subject to Self-Conformity Verification?

• Household appliances, power tools, audio devices, video devices, and office equipment that operate on USB or battery power

• Lighting equipment

• Measuring, inspection, and testing instruments


3. Which institutions can conduct tests for Self-Conformity Verification products?

• Testing institutions designated under the Radio Waves Act (including those designated under the MRA)

• Self-testing by the self-verifying party

• Testing institutions that meet the ISO/IEC 17025 standard


4. Can products certified with CE or FCC also undergo Self-Conformity Verification?

Simply having foreign certifications like CE or FCC does not suffice for Self-Conformity Verification. A test report demonstrating that the product has been tested to comply with domestic technical standards is required for the verification to be valid.


5. How is the Self-Conformity Verification Declaration prepared?

The Self-Conformity Verification Declaration is completed according to the prescribed form by entering relevant information such as the equipment name, model number, external photos, and applicable conformity assessment criteria, and then signed and stamped by the representative or stamped with the company seal.

※ The Self-Conformity Verification Declaration is a document prepared and maintained by the self-verifying party.

※ The Self-Conformity Verification Declaration must be retained for 5 years after the cessation of the product’s manufacturing, import, or sale.


6. How is Self-Conformity Verification disclosed?

The fact of Self-Conformity Verification must be disclosed on the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) website.


7. What if additional model names, manufacturers, or manufacturing countries are added to a product under Self-Conformity Verification?

If there are any changes to the product, the Self-Conformity Verification Declaration must be revised to reflect the updated information, retained, and the changes must be disclosed on the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) website.


8. What should be done if the sale of a product under Self-Conformity Verification is discontinued?

If the product’s manufacturing, import, or sale is discontinued, the Self-Conformity Verification must be terminated through the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) website.

The revised Intelligent Robot Act, which came into effect on November 17, 2023, is expected to lead to an increasing encounter with robots delivering food or goods while walking on sidewalks. For the safety of pedestrians, robots allowed to move on sidewalks are restricted to a weight of 500 kg or less and a width of 80 cm or less. The speed of movement is regulated to be 5-15 km/h depending on the weight. To operate a business using robots, it is necessary to obtain operational safety certification from a designated certification authority. The certification authority will issue a safety certification, similar to a 'pedestrian license,' certifying the safe operation of the robot, after evaluating 16 criteria, including compliance with operational zones, pedestrian crossing, dynamic stability, speed control, and remote operation. Furthermore, the robot must comply with traffic laws, and in the case of jaywalking or violation of safety regulations, the operator may be subject to

  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. Tax deductions for overseas resource development investments, sta

  KC Certification KC stands for "Korea Certification" and is a mandatory certification system established by the Korean government to ensure that products manufactured in Korea or imported from abroad comply with domestic safety and technical standards so that only certified products can be distributed and sold. It plays an important role in ensuring the safety and performance of products in Korea, protecting users and the environment. For companies looking to enter the Korean market, KC certification is a prerequisite for customs clearance and product sales. With KC certification, companies can lower the barriers to entry, gain a competitive edge, and successfully enter the Korean market. KC certification is broadly categorized into electromagnetic certification and safety certification. Since these fall under different government ministries, companies need to undergo separate certification processes for each. ✅ KC EMC ✅  KC Safety 👉 Contact GCA Tel. +82-31-360-8180 Email:
