Latest KC Safety, EMC, Energy Efficiency + Environmental Compliance Requirements

Stay up to date with the latest regulatory and standards developments affecting household appliances placed on the Korean market.

This webinar provides a practical overview of the Korean compliance framework and recent updates that manufacturers, exporters and importers should consider when obtaining new approvals, modifying certified products or maintaining continued market access.

• KC safety requirements: Product classification and applicable conformity assessment routes under the Electrical Appliances and Consumer Products Safety Control Act, including Safety Certification, Safety Confirmation and Supplier’s Declaration of Conformity.
• Latest KC standards updates: Recent revisions to the KC 60335 series, including the 2026 update to KC 60335-2-29 for battery chargers, alignment with updated IEC requirements and key transition considerations.
• EMC and wireless compliance: RRA conformity assessment requirements under the Radio Waves Act, including EMC and wireless applicability, derivative models, component substitutions and the latest change-reporting procedures.
• Additional considerations: Applicable energy-efficiency, hazardous-substance, recycling and producer-responsibility requirements.

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) is increasingly recognized as a sustainability challenge, with poorly designed or excessive outdoor lighting contributing to biodiversity loss, ecosystem disruption, unnecessary energy use, and adverse effects on human well-being. As environmental expectations, sustainability frameworks, and procurement requirements continue to evolve, there is a growing need for lighting solutions that minimize environmental impacts while maintaining safety and performance.This webinar explores how independent third-party certification of luminaires can support responsible ALAN management and more sustainable outdoor lighting practices. By verifying compliance with defined environmental and technical requirements - including optimized light distribution, appropriate illuminance levels, suitable spectral characteristics, and intelligent lighting controls - certification provides a credible and transparent way to demonstrate the environmental performance of luminaires.

Participants will gain insights into how certified luminaires can help reduce the negative impacts of outdoor lighting, support sustainability objectives, and contribute to the protection of nocturnal ecosystems. The session will also highlight the benefits for certificate holders, including stronger sustainability credentials, increased market trust, product differentiation, and a competitive advantage in procurement and tendering processes where environmental performance and responsible lighting practices are becoming increasingly important.
