The broadcasting and communication equipment complies with the Korean Radio Waves Act to prevent
the human body against telecom network and electromagnetic waves before being placed on the Market.
A party intending to manufacture, sell or import broadcasting and communication equipment must have
certificate.
KC Certificate is a mandatory requirement to be placed on the Korean Market.
The broadcasting and communication equipment conformity assessment system has been implemented according to Article 58-2 of the Radio Waves Act. It is divided into the certification of conformity, registration of compatibility, and interim of conformity.
Certification of Conformity
A party intending to manufacture, sell, or import equipment that can harm the radio environment, the broadcasting communication network, or others, as well as those whose normal operation can be affected by radio waves can apply for the certification of conformity by attaching the related documents to the NATIONAL RADIO RESEARCH AGENCY (RRA)
Registration of Compatibility
A party intending to manufacture, sell, or import broadcasting and communication equipment that is not subject to certification of conformity can register the equipment by attaching the letter of confirmation that verifies the compatibility to RRA.
Interim of Conformity
If there is no criteria for assessing the conformity of the broadcasting and communication equipment or if it is difficult to assess the conformity for whatever reason, the conformity can be assessed using the standard, specification or technical criteria of Korea or outside of Korea and then attaching the region, period of validity, and condition of certification to the manufactured, sold, or imported equipment.
