Korea Updates KC EMC Applicability for Home Network Terminals

The Korea National Radio Research Agency (RRA) has amended the Notification on Conformity Assessment of Broadcasting and Communication Equipment (Notification No. 2026-2), effective June 26, 2026, to clarify the applicability of the KC EMC Conformity Assessment to Home Network Terminals.


The amendment adds Home Network Terminals, such as wall-mounted smart home control panels, to the list of representative products under Information Technology Terminal Equipment, a subcategory of Multimedia Equipment covered by Korea's KC EMC Conformity Assessment.

Information Technology Terminal Equipment refers to equipment that performs independent information processing functions and is used either independently or by connecting to a computer via a network or wired connection.

Previously, representative products included display control terminals, POS terminals, barcode scanners, electronic calculating terminals, copiers (including multifunction printers), and multi-card readers. By adding Home Network Terminals to this representative product list, the amendment clarifies that these products fall within the existing Information Technology Terminal Equipment category and are subject to the KC EMC Conformity Assessment.

This amendment does not introduce a new KC EMC Conformity Assessment requirement or expand existing certification obligations. Rather, it clarifies that Home Network Terminals are covered under the existing Information Technology Terminal Equipment category by identifying them as representative products.
