This regulation applies to new devices seeking KC conformity certification, covering a total of 13 product categories, including mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, laptops, and more. The goal is to promote universal interoperability and reduce e-waste through a standardized connector format.

According to the official notice, devices in the following categories must be equipped with a USB Type‑C receptacle to obtain new MSIP approval:

  • Mobile phones

  • Digital cameras
  • Headphones
  • Headsets
  • Portable video game consoles
  • Portable speakers
  • E-book readers
  • Keyboards
  • Mouse
  • Portable navigation devices
  • Earphones
  • Laptops

The regulation will take effect one year from its promulgation date, giving manufacturers until November 2026 to ensure compliance for newly certified products. Existing certifications will remain valid unless subject to updates or modifications.

The standard will be reviewed every three years to evaluate its relevance and effectiveness in line with ongoing technological developments and market needs.
