South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency (RRA) has announced a partial revision to the Conformity Assessment Test Methods for Radio Equipment (KS X 3123) . The revision applies specifically to radio equipment used for mobile satellite communication and took effect on June 16, 2025. The purpose of this revision is to reduce the workload for test laboratories and to prevent confusion during the test implementation process. To achieve this, certain test items have been simplified, and new detailed test procedures have been added. The key changes include simpler environmental condition tests and updated references for equipment names and electrical test items. In addition, new test procedures have been established for each relevant technical requirement. These include frequency tolerance, antenna feed power, occupied bandwidth, spurious emissions limits, receiver spurious emissions, and fault detection functions. This revised test method will stay in effect until the amendment to...

On June 18, 2025, the Moldovan government approved a draft amendment to Law No. 235/2011 on Accreditation and Conformity Assessment Activities. The amendment provides a legal basis for Moldova to recognize conformity assessment results issued by EU Notified Bodies for CE-marked products without requiring additional national certification.   Key Highlights: Products that are legally marketed in any EU Member State and carry the CE mark will no longer need additional conformity assessment in Moldova. The rule applies broadly to all such products, including radio equipment covered by the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). Recognition applies regardless of where the product is manufactured, as long as it complies with applicable EU technical regulations.   The amendment has been approved by the government and is currently awaiting final approval by Parliament. Once published in the Official Journal, it will take effect after 12 months and apply to products placed on the ...

On June 18, 2025, South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) issued a proposed amendment to the Regulation on Performance and Standards of Motor Vehicles and Auto Parts . The amendment would allow cargo loading devices on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), provided they meet structural and load requirements that do not compromise operational safety. It also aims to address shortcomings in the current regulatory system. To qualify, the device must meet the following conditions: Have an open structure Have a floor no higher than 1 meter from the ground and a length not exceeding 1.3 times the vehicle’s track width Have a width within the vehicle’s maximum Provide a cargo area that is at least 30% of the vehicle’s length × width Be capable of accommodating a 60 cm cubic box Include restraints to prevent cargo from falling The public comment period is open until August 18, 2025. The regulation will take effect upon promulgation and apply to ATVs manufactured, ass...

On June 13, 2025, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) introduced proposed changes to the spectrum-sharing framework for satellite broadband services in the 10.7–12.7 GHz, 17.3–18.6 GHz, and 19.7–20.2 GHz frequency bands. The revisions aim to modernize legacy power emission standards and enable more effective coexistence between geostationary (GSO) and non-geostationary (NGSO) satellite systems. The FCC is inviting public input on potential adjustments to equivalent power-flux density (EPFD) limits and the introduction of more flexible, forward-looking spectrum-sharing policies that reflect advances in satellite technology. Leading satellite operators, including SpaceX and Amazon, have voiced support for the proposal, citing benefits such as expanded service coverage and improved deployment efficiency. Comments are due by July 28, 2025, and reply comments must be submitted by August 27, 2025. The original document is available here . If you have any questions or...

On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) finalized rules for the 37.0–37.6 GHz band and proposed additional updates for other millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands above 24 GHz. These measures are intended to expand flexible spectrum use for 5G, fixed wireless access, and IoT services.   Key highlights Licenses will be issued on a nationwide, non-exclusive basis, with deployment subject to site-by-site registration and two-phase interference coordination. The 37.0–37.2 GHz range is designated for priority use by the Department of Defense (DoD), while 37.2–37.6 GHz allows shared access between federal and non-federal users. The FCC is also seeking public comment on proposed tighter out-of-band emission limits and on mechanisms for dynamic spectrum sharing. The rule will take effect on July 14, 2025, except for §§ 30.501 and 30.503, which will become effective on a later date to be announced. For further information, ...

On June 13, 2025, South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) issued an amendment to increase the permissible deviation for the standard 220 V supply voltage to ±22 V. This change brings South Korea’s voltage standards in line with international practices, improving operational efficiency throughout the country’s electrical infrastructure. This rule takes effect immediately upon promulgation. GCA KOREA is here to support all your regulatory compliance needs.
