New EMC & Cybersecurity Standards Proposed by RRA

-

South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency (RRA) announced on July 25, 2025, its plan to enact, revise, and repeal national standards in the broadcasting and communications sector.


Proposed Enactment of Standards (3 of 11)

  • Guidelines for Intrusion Prevention Systems in Connected Vehicles: This standard presents IDS-based methodologies to address the limitations of traditional in-vehicle detection systems in Ethernet-based vehicle networks.
  • EMC Test Methods for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Wireless Devices: Based on ETSI EN 301 489-33, it outlines test methods to protect communication services from emissions generated by UWB devices such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and object detection sensors.
  • EMC Test Methods for Fixed Satellite Earth Stations: Based on ETSI EN 301 489-12, this standard provides EMC testing procedures for low Earth orbit satellite ground stations introduced in South Korea.


Proposed Revision of Standards (2 of 9)

  • KS X 3036 (Ground Resistance Measurement for Broadcasting and Communications Facilities): Updated to reflect current reference materials and standardized documentation formats.
  • KS X 3123 (Conformity Assessment Test Methods for Radio Equipment): Revised to include new test items for low Earth orbit satellite ground stations and to streamline procedures for satellite mobile communication equipment.


Proposed Repeal of Standards (2 of 16)

  • KS X 3132 (EMC Test Methods for Trunked Radio System(TRS) Equipment): Proposed for repeal due to lack of application in current domestic products and services.
  • KS X 3133 (EMC Test Methods for Mobile Communication Radio Equipment): Also proposed for repeal given its limited relevance in the domestic industry.


Stakeholders, such as organizations, associations, and individuals, are encouraged to submit written feedback to the RRA by September 23, 2025.

  KCs Ex Certification for explosion proof products KCs Ex Certification and Its Compatibility with IECEx and ATEX The IECEx and ATEX international explosion-proof certification systems are globally recognized, and KCs Ex certification is also mutually compatible with these international certifications. Thanks to this compatibility, global companies can easily certify and sell the same product in multiple countries. However, even if a product has already obtained IECEx or ATEX certification, it must still acquire KCs Ex certification to be sold or installed in Korea. During the KCs Ex certification process, some testing and documentation requirements may be waived or simplified. Challenges and Solutions for Obtaining KCs Ex Certification The process of obtaining KCs Ex certification in Korea can be challenging due to complex procedures and extensive documentation requirements. However, with GCA KOREA, you can avoid these complexities and proceed with the certification process quic...
