Communications apparatus conformance test system

Communications apparatus conformance test system is implemented based on section 2, Article 58 of Radio Waves Act and is divided into three types : conformity authentication, conformity registration and tentative certification.
Those who intend to manufacture, sell or import communications apparatus shouldbe certified by one of the appropriate certifications for the equipment, conformity authentication, conformity registration and tentative certification.

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 RESEACH AGENCY (RRA).
Registration of Compatibility
A party intending to manufacture, sell, or import broadcasting and communication equipment that is not subject to certificationof conformity can register the equipment by attaching the letter of confirmation that verifies the compatibility to RRA over the Internet.
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 Koreaor other countries and then attaching the region, period of validity, and condition of certification to the manufactured, sold, or imported equipment.
