South Korea - Partial Revision of "Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Rate Measurement Standards"

Business description

The revision updates the "Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Rate (SAR) Measurement Standards" to align with current regulations and international standards, ensuring consistency and clarity in the evaluation of electromagnetic wave absorption rates for wireless devices used near the human body.

- Simplified and clarified terms in Articles 1, 2, and 3, including changes to the phrasing of "measurement methods" and "compliance evaluation."

- Updated references to measurement procedures, replacing KS C 3370-1 and KS C 3370-2 with KS C 3350, which aligns with international standards for SAR evaluation of wireless communication devices.

- Changed "International Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)" to "Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)" and simplified the application of standards.

- Wireless equipment evaluated under previous regulations will be considered compliant with the revised standards.

The revised standards will take effect on April 1, 2026.
