• EMC standards referenced in [Attachment 1] Matters on Test Items by Test Field (related to 

Article 3)

3 When applying for SAR, the RRA notifications 4) a, 4) b, and 4) c are all required and must be included in the designation Note that the 

notifications 4) b and 4) c are applied in common to EMF. 4 The purpose of 4) a is mainly to identify the two applicable SAR test methods: KS C 3370-1 and KS C 3370-2. Designations will not 

include these two embedded KS standards. The test reports should only reference 4) a. (If embedded test methods are cited in accredited 

test reports, they must also be listed on the ISO/IEC 17025 Scope of Accreditation.) 5 When applying for EMF, the notifications 5) a, 4) b, and 4) c are all required and must be included in the designation. 6 RRA Public Notifications and Announcements 6) a, 6) b, and 6) c are not included in designations. 7 Effective January 1, 2023, for some small volume products of less than 1.2 m x 1.5 m, RRA is accepting radiated emissions testing 

below 1 GHz at 3 m (instead of only at 10 m). Effective June 22, 2023, CABs with 3 m measurement capability only can now obtain 

RRA recognition. The applicable technical standards listed on the Scope of Accreditation must include “(3 m only)”. Example: KS C 

9832 (3 m only). Standards for which the 3 m only designation is available are marked by ** on the next page (Attachment 1). 8 6) b Test Methods for Electromagnetic Compatibility references EMC standards. Equipment/devices must be tested to these EMC 

standards. 

9 Only the EMC standards listed in Notice on Designation and Management of Testing Laboratories for `Broadcasting and 

Communications Equipment (RRA Public Notification) [Attachment 1] can be designated.
