Launch of Pilot Project for EV Battery Safety Certification System


Launch of Pilot Project for EV Battery Safety Certification System

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has launched a pilot project this month to enhance the safety of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This project involves direct testing and certification of battery safety by the government.

What is the Battery Safety Certification System?

  • A system designed to pre-certify the safety of EV batteries to improve overall vehicle safety.
  • Official implementation is scheduled for February 2025, following amendments to the Automobile Management Act.

Strengthening Battery Safety and Preventing Fires

In response to recently announced EV fire safety measures, the government aims to establish the certification system early through this pilot project and enhance battery safety management.

Overview of the Pilot Project

  • Participants: 5 companies
  • Testing Organization: Korea Automobile Testing & Research Institute (KATRI) under the Korea Transportation Safety Authority
  • Scope: 12 safety tests

This initiative marks a significant step toward safer electric vehicles and increased trust in EV battery technology.

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

What is KC certification in Korea?

-
Image
  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:
