South Korea – KC Certification

South Korea requires that manufacturers of electrical/electronic equipment bear the KC Certification Mark. G&M Compliance provides manufacturers with complete testing and certification services for South Korea!

Through our strategic partners based in the U.S. and South Korea, G&M Compliance now provides an expedient KC certification service for ITE, telecom, and radio equipment.

Unified Korea Certification Mark (KC Mark)

The KCC (Korea Communications Commission) was unified with KC (Korea Certification) in January 24th, 2011. Products that were certified prior to January 24th, 2011 can still use the KCC Mark but all new applications from this date forward will be under the new KC Mark.

Benefits of Submitting Through G&M Compliance South Korea Certifications

• Turn-around time frame is much faster than submitting directly to Agency or other South Korean test labs. (Complete certification time frame is 2-4 weeks vs. 6-8 months when going directly to South Korean agencies).

• G & M Compliance can translate all safety relevant instructions and user’s manual to native languages.

• Test samples do not have to be shipped to South Korea, thus avoiding trouble and delay in going through customs. Although based on the specification of the product it may require testing in South Korea for KC Mark, G & M is equipped to perform complete preliminary evaluation and scanning for KC testing; therefore, providing you with peace of mind that your product will pass the actual KC certification in South Korea, which in turn practically eliminates traveling of your engineers to South Korea due to possible failures you might encounter otherwise.

• Potential communication and language barriers are eliminated.

• G & M Compliance can provide its clients with a South Korea based representative. In the past, manufacturers were required to have a manufacturing facility in South Korea. Having a representative is enough to satisfy this requirement.
