KC certification in Korea
Introduction to KC certification in Korea

KC certification is to enable consumers to more clearly understand the certification marks marked on the purchased products and reduce various certification costs borne by product manufacturers. The Korean Institute of technical standards (Kats) announced on August 20, 2008 that a new certification system will be implemented on January 1, 2009.

The plan was first implemented by the Ministry of knowledge economy since July 2009 and is expected to be extended to all departments by the end of 2010. The implementation plan of KC logo is as follows: December 2008: revise the basic law of national standards and its implementation order; July 2009: the Ministry of knowledge economy began to implement and adopt the national unified KC logo; January 2009 ~ December 2010: amend the laws related to standard certification; January 2011: apply the KC mark to all certifications.

Importance of battery KC certification

Kats (Korean agency for technology and standards) of South Korea announced the applicable standard of Portable 2 secondary lithium battery pack: self regulatory safety confirmation, annex05, and incorporated relevant products into the self declared product category of KC certification system, which was officially implemented on July 1, 2009.

Product scope of battery KC certification

1. For the battery with soft bag shape and thickness smaller than the diameter (cell - the maximum charging voltage is more than 4.4V and the energy density is more than 700wh / L, which is applied to smart phones, laptops or tablets), it belongs to the control scope of KC 62133-02 (2020)

2. Dry batteries, alkaline batteries, Ni-Cd batteries, Ni MH batteries and button dry batteries will enter Korea from November 15, 2020, and KC certificate must be mandatory;

3. Personal transportation tools (electric skates, balance boards, etc.) exported to or cleared in Korea from August 1, 2021, and their maximum speed is less than 25 km / h. The batteries used in China must obtain KC certification

4. Cell > 700wh / L, cell charging voltage higher than 4.4V, used in telephone, notebook computer and desktop computer. The cell belongs to safety certification, not safety confirmation, so it includes initial test, I inspection and follow-up inspection (once every two years),

Battery KC certification mode
Mode 1:

Send samples to South Korea for testing and certification (long cycle and high cost)

1. The manufacturer applies for KC certification

2. Send samples to Korea for test (if the test fails, retest costs will be incurred and the cycle will be prolonged)

3. Pass and issue KC certificate。

Mode 2:

Use CB certification to transfer KC.
