Korea Certification 韩国认证
韩国ERI (Korea EMC Research Institute 韩国无线电研究院) 以及 韩国KTL (Korea Testing Laboratory 韩国测试实验室) 均 可 进 行 产 品认证 ，接 受 其 它 公 司 的 CB 报 告、 EMC/EMI 报 告 及 工 厂 审 查 报 告。 韓國政府計畫由 KC Mark 取代所有認證標誌包括MIC mark, eK mark, 韓國國家標準審議委員會在
2008 年8 月20 日的會議上，通過以”KC (Korea Certification)”標誌做為韓國國家標準統一標誌，目前韓國國內現有的13 種認證標誌將統一為KC 標誌，自2009年7 月起，由韓國知識經濟部MKE(Ministry of Knowledge Economy) 率先施行，並預計於2010年底之前擴大實施到所有部門及國營企業。KC 國家標準認證標誌施行之後，既有的13 個法定強制認證標誌將以KC 為統一標誌，同時也將在符合國家標準(ISO/IEC Guide 67)的前提下，將法定強制認證20 種認證審查程序簡化為9種。新 KC 標誌的推行將使企業成為最大的受益者，因為新標誌整合了大部分相似認證標誌，使得每個企業可節省一定的認證費用，而企業申請認證所耗費的時間也將相應縮短，從而使企業有望降低認證的成本負擔，提升產品競爭力。
KC 認證與現有的EK Mark 認證程序最大差異在於：

1. KC 證書有效期為五年。
2.只有影音設備(Audio and Video equipment )及某些小家電不需執行工廠檢查；屆時將由韓國主管機關對這些獲得KC 認證的產品加強市場抽查檢驗。而電源供應器(Power Supply)是歸屬於韓國驗證產品分類的資訊技術設備(Information Technology Equipment)類別中，因此還是要每年執行一次工廠檢查。
