Korea KC Certification | Lighting Products
Date：2021/6/15 Clicks：1075
KC certification is required for electronic and electrical products exported to South Korea. According to the "Korea Electrical Appliances Safety Management Act", since January 1, 2009, electrical product safety certification is divided into two types: compulsory certification and self-discipline (voluntary) certification:
Compulsory certification means that all electronic products belonging to compulsory products must obtain KC Mark certification before they can be sold on the Korean market. They need to undergo factory inspections and product sampling tests every year.
Self-discipline (voluntary) certification means that all electronic products belonging to voluntary products only need to be tested to obtain a certificate, and no factory inspection is required. The certificate is valid for 5 years.
1. The difference between compulsory certification and self-discipline (voluntary) safety confirmation certification
2. Compulsory and voluntary KC logo styles
Among them, lighting equipment exported to South Korea requires the following certificates according to product classification:
Safety certification (19 categories)-not to list them all, you need to confirm and contact us in time.
Safety confirmation (21 categories)-not to list one by one, please contact us in time for confirmation.
Safety certification requires factory inspection, and annual inspection is the same as China's CCC. Safety confirmation only requires testing and evaluation without auditing the factory.
Lamps and lighting products are exported to South Korea for KC certification main test items
1. EMC-general standards are: K00015, K61547
2. Safety-general standards include: K60598-2-X, K60192, K60188 and other different types of lighting standards
3. Light source performance
4. Photobiological safety
5. Other
Information required for KC certification
1. Application for Safety Certification (Mandatory)
2. Application form for self-discipline safety confirmation of electrical appliances and application form for self-discipline safety confirmation of electrical appliances (self-discipline)
3. Catalogue of parts directly affecting safety
4. Electrical wiring diagram
5. Transformer detailed specifications (for related products)
6. Insulation material catalog (temperature, pressure resistance or flame resistance class, etc.)
7. Product manuals (including Korean product manuals)
8. Marking Label
9. Authorization document of the agent
10. Questionnaire (QUESTIONAIRE) (only for compulsory certification)
11. Other
Involving cost reference-example
A. The compulsory KC certification fee for LED panel lights is composed of: safety regulations-650 USD, EMC-1300 USD, initial examination fee 1000 USD, model difference test fee-130 USD * number of models;
B. Stage lighting --- It belongs to the self-discipline KC certification: EMC-1300 USD, and the dimmer needs KC certification;
The above fee is the cost of a certificate. PCB, electronic circuit, transformer, etc. need to be the same to put a KC and EMC certificate application, otherwise you need to apply separately-if there is any unclear place or other types of product lines, please feel free to contact us.
Other matters needing attention
A. Pay special attention to the consistency when using the CB certification and report application: the applicant is consistent, the product name and model are consistent, the test standard corresponds to the version that meets the KC standard, etc., and it needs to be valid within 3 years;
B. South Korea voltage and frequency: single-phase 110V, 220V~, 3-phase 220V, 380V, 60Hz or 50/60Hz. (Not applicable: 230V 50Hz or 220V 50Hz);
C. The corresponding plug and power cord of the product must meet the requirements of Korean regulations;
D. Other compliance requirements.
