TÜV SÜD expands UKAS scope to include key Korean EMC standards

TÜV SÜD has added additional Korean EMC standards to our UKAS-accredited labs in Bearley and Fareham, enabling many products entering the South Korean market to be tested entirely in the UK. 

The updated scope covers a wide range of product types, from consumer electronics and industrial equipment, to designs using radio modules pre-approved in Korea. This allows manufacturers to simplify their approval process, reducing the need for local retesting, and accelerating market access. 

Here’s a full list of the Korean EMC standards now in scope: 

KS C standards (focusing on electrical and electronic equipment and their related components): 

• KS C 9610-6-1:2019 (equivalent IEC 61000-6-1) 
• KS C 9610-6-2:2019 (equivalent IEC 61000-6-2) 
• KS C 9610-6-3:2023 (equivalent IEC 61000-6-3) 
• KS C 9610-6-4:2023 (equivalent IEC 61000-6-4) 
• KS C 9811:2019 (equivalent CISPR 11) 
• KS C 9832:2024 (equivalent CISPR 32) 
• KS C 9835:2019 (equivalent CISPR 35) 
   
  

KS X standards (focusing on information and communication technologies): 

• KS X 3124:2024 (EN 301 489-1) 
• KS X 3125:2020 (EN 301 489-3) 
• KS X 3126:2024 (EN 301 489-17) 
• KS X 3129:2020 (EN 301 489-52)
