1. Introduction to KCC Certification

KCC is the abbreviation of the Korea Communications Commission, and its function is similar to that of the FCC in the United States. The KCC certification was implemented in 2008. It is a certification system formulated by the Korean government to protect the domestic radio wave environment, mainly to reduce personal injury and property damage caused by unnecessary radio waves, as well as communication failures and equipment malfunctions caused by other devices or external radio waves. Since January 1, 2010, products imported into South Korea need to obtain KCC certification. If the product to be imported into South Korea has not passed the KCC certification but is under application, the Korean customs will require a statement letter stating that the product is applying for and waiting for the KCC certification (products that have obtained the KCC certification do not need to provide this statement letter).
