Korea KC Cert

brief introduction

Electrical appliances safety certification system is a mandatory and self-regulatory (voluntary) safety certification system implemented according to the safety management law of electrical appliances. It is a manufacturing/sales system with safety certification.

kc

Applicants for security certification

Domestic and foreign manufacturers of electrical products, assembly, processing of all businesses (legal persons or individuals).

Safety certification system and methods

Apply for certification by product model, divided into basic model and derived model in order to distinguish the design of electrical appliances model, according to the function of different products to give their own inherent product name.

The basic model

The use of standard products for safety certification in electrical application basic circuits and electrical application safety related basic structures of similar types of electrical appliances.

A derived type

The core circuit related to the certification shall be the same as the basic model, using the same parts and similar products without directly affecting the electrical certification.

The distinction between mandatory certification and self-regulatory (voluntary) safety certification

Compulsory certification refers to: belong to all the electronic product must achieve in the mandatory product KC Mark certification can be on the market in South Korea. After a year need to accept factory inspection and product sampling test discipline (voluntary) certification refers to: voluntary products all of the electronic product test certificate, do not need to accept factory audit certificate is valid for five years.

KC certification process

Applicant (or agent) to submit product information

The certification process of new application basically includes the following (1) application form: electrical appliances safety certification application form (mandatory product), electrical appliances self-regulatory safety confirmation application form and electrical appliances self-regulatory safety confirmation statement (self-regulatory product);(2) the model difference (for multiple model) (3) the circuit principle diagram and PCB LAYOUT (4) the original listing and the relevant certifications (5) transformer and inductor specification (in English) frame (7) and (6) product authorisation (8) ID application form (9) tag (Marking Label) (10) product manuals (Korean) if a product manufactured by several independent factories, although the product is the same model, several factories should obtain certification marks at the same timeOverseas manufacturers may apply directly or authorize local agencies and representative manufacturers in Korea to apply.

Factory audit

South Korea safety regulations after receiving applications, authorized by the need to the factory for the first time factory audit project according to the requirements of safety, the quality control of the factory system carries on the preliminary assessment, involving the has the following several aspects: the factory should be in accordance with the product certification implementation rules and the factory quality assurance ability request production and certification as per samples confirmed by the certification body of qualified products according to the Korea safety certification related laws and south Korean industrial technology to the relevant provisions of the trial court (KTL), your factory should have the following documented procedure or regulation, the content should be adapted to factory quality management and quality control:

1) product change control procedures (example: certification product change notification after approved by certification bodies, should department should be in strict accordance with the approved changes to the content establish corresponding technical documents issued to the relevant departments to properly implement certification product changes are not approved changes, cannot exert on the change of product certification marks) 2) documents and data control procedure (3) quality record control procedures {should include records kept for at least for 3 years (need to replenish onr's stock, and run the routine inspection records)} 4) routine inspection and confirmation procedure 5) 6) nonconforming product control procedures

Key components and materials inspection or verification procedure 7) internal quality audit program 8) process work instructions, inspection standards, equipment operation procedures, the management system procedures such as factory quality records shall be kept at least include the following, to confirm the factory do the inspection of all production and production test, quality records shall be real and effective: 9) product routine test and verification test record: key components and materials incoming goods inspection/verification record and supplier to provide the qualified certificate of inspection and test equipment calibration or verification of records on a regular basis;

Routine inspection and verification (operation) inspection record daily spot inspection record of safety equipment on production line (workshop) disposition record of nonconforming products (incoming, routine and operation);

Record of internal audit;

Record of customer complaints and corrective actions taken;

Record of nonconformity correction in operation inspection;

Annual factory inspection: after the certificate authorization, the certification authority will conduct an annual follow-up inspection on the factory every year. The main purpose is to check the consistency of the quality control system of the factory. Whether the annual factory inspection can continuously meet the standards of the safety law is divided into two parts:

1) the quality documents, quality record, making the scene of the related content of view, the basic requirement and content and initial review 2) need to make sure all KC Mark authorized factory products according to the consistency of the product certificate of authorization attached (list) key components, the authentication products of key components, materials, circuit, structure confirmation, look to whether consistent sampling requirements:

On KC Mark compulsory certification within the scope of products a total of 216 until now, South Korea safety laws for all kinds of products for sampling, so each product every year one time sampling sampling method: conducted by the factory inspector in the annual review, field have production or have inventory, the examiner sealed samples, the factory will sample sent to the specified address within three months factory audit when there is no production or inventory, the factory must be in 6 months will specify the samples sent to the specified address.

Introduction to KTC and KTL testing institutions

KTC and KTL are the certification organizations designated by Korea institute of technical standards to issue KC mark certificate, and also the testing organizations of products (1) Korea institute of mechanical, electrical and electronic test (KTC, KTC Chesapeake Testing Certification), founded in 1970, is a south Korean official professional Testing institute in earlier years, the hospital has been committed to technology evaluation suitability Testing calibration checks and medical appliance and information communication equipment inspection work in 2000, the institute has been designated as electrical appliance safety Certification bodies, and in 2003 to become the international electrotechnical commission (IEC) specified in the CB laboratory in order to meet the demand of China and south Korea, set up the branch in shenzhen and Shanghai KTC KTC's official website has a Korean.

English and Chinese version (2) three south Korean industrial technology testing institute (KTL) KTL, founded in 1966, is to provide support through the detection and evaluation technology in order to improve the industry technology and set up testing evaluation institutions to promote the domestic industry of various certification system is perfect, in order to protect consumer safety and environmental, KTL for the whole stage of product development to obtain certification to provide support, to help enterprises to improve technical capabilities and enhance competitiveness in addition, KTL or advanced detection (developed) countries.

Certification bodies to communicate and cooperate with less institutions, has 35 countries and 67 test certification institutions signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), can be in the field of nine 43 specification issue CB certificate and test report for the electrical communication products and components, the hospital can be in the field of safety reliability evaluation of electromagnetic compatibility test evaluation.
