South Korea - Partial Amendment to the Technical Standards for Radio Equipment of Simple Radio Stations, Space Stations, Earth Stations, Radio Detection Equipment, and Other Service Radio Equipment

​​The Radio Research Agency (RRA) has partially amended the technical standards for radio equipment of simple radio stations, space stations, earth stations, and other service radio equipment, effective July 7, 2026. 

The amendment is triggered by the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Radio Waves Act, which converted some earth stations from licensed/reported stations to deemed-licensed radio stations. 

Key changes include reorganizing common conditions for earth stations in line with international standards, establishing detailed transmission/reception standards to prevent radio interference, and introducing transitional provisions to protect the rights of previously licensed earth stations.​
