How long does it take to obtain the KC certification for drones? The process and required documents will be explained in one go.

Do you want your drone to enter the Korean market? The KC certification is indispensable! The KC certification for drones in Korea is a mandatory safety certification for electronic and electrical products, implemented in accordance with the "Electrical Products Safety Management Act", covering both consumer and industrial drones. It primarily ensures that the electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the products meet the Korean K standards, and is a crucial prerequisite for the product to be legally marketed.

Why do you need to obtain the KC certification? Un-certified drones may face risks such as customs detention and market ban, making it impossible for them to be legally circulated; at the same time, the KC mark is a "credit endorsement" of product quality, which can enhance the trust of Korean consumers and channel partners, and help the brand open the local market. Compliance first, and then you can steadily develop in the Korean market.

To apply for certification, you need to prepare the following materials in advance: the application form filled in Korean, the Korean manual and labels, technical documents such as circuit diagrams/PCB layout/BOM tables, the business license and ISO9001 certificate, key component certification certificates, plus 3-5 sets of complete drones and supporting battery samples. Complete the materials and you can significantly improve the review efficiency.

The certification process is clear and understandable: the first step is the pre-review of materials and samples; the second step is sending to the Korean recognized laboratory to complete safety, EMC, etc. tests; the third step is reviewing the test reports and related documents; the fourth step is issuing the certificate after approval, and the safety certification requires cooperation with annual factory audits. The regular cycle is 4-8 weeks, and the process is transparent and controllable.
