RRA Procedure

Quarterly Verification of Test Reports issued by RRA Recognized Test Labs (CABs)

Version 1.0 (June 1, 2021)

Introduction: On a quarterly basis, the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) requires that RRA 

recognized CABs verify information for test reports that were issued under the CAB’s name and

then used to support Korea Certification (KC) of products being placed on the market in Korea. 

KC certification is obtained through RRA’s Communication Conformity Assessment Center (CCAC). 

Currently, there are two methods for obtaining KC Certification: 

- Conformity registration method (EMC – approximately 90% of certifications)

- Conformity certification method (Radio and Wire – approximately 10% of certifications)

This procedure describes the process for the quarterly verification of test reports used for both 

conformity methods noted above. 

This procedure identifies the responsibilities for the following parties: RRA, the MRA Partner 

Designating Authority (DA), the CAB.

Process: 

1. On a quarterly basis, RRA will provide the DA with a zipped file containing a set of excel 

spreadsheets (one spreadsheet per CAB whose test reports were used for certification during 

the reporting period in question).

Note that if a CAB’s test reports were not used to support certification during that period, 

no spreadsheet will be issued for that CAB.

2. Each spreadsheet shall contain the following information for each model number certified 

during the reporting period (see 3 below) that has just concluded: 

CAB ID, KC Certification Date, KCC ID, Applicant Name, Model Number

Notes: 

In some cases, the Model Number will not be included. In such cases, the CAB will be 

asked to provide this information. See 5 c below. 

RRA is not able to provide the test report numbers in the spreadsheets at this time as it 

does not yet collect this information during the conformity registration process. RRA

intends to modify its requirements and will be able to provide the test report numbers 

once it collects them during the conformity registration process. 

3. The reporting periods are as follows: 

January 1 to March 31; April 1 to June 30; July 1 to September 30; October 1 to December 31

4. The DA will provide each CAB with their specific excel spreadsheet that has been prepared by 

RRA with the information noted in (2) above within 14 days. 

5. The CAB shall:

a. Add the unique CAB test report number and Date of Issuance for each test report 

that was issued to support the models included in the spreadsheet in the fields noted. 

b. Either (1) confirm that the CAB has issued test reports for the model(s) listed or (2)

indicate that the CAB has not issued test reports for the model(s) listed in the 

confirmation field.

c. In cases where the model number is missing, the CAB shall also add the Model Number. 

d. Add the name and email address of the CAB representative that completed the 

information, and the date on which the spreadsheet was filled out. 

e. Return the completed spreadsheet to the DA within 14 days. 

6. The DA shall review each CAB’s completed spreadsheet for completeness and then send 

each CAB’s completed spreadsheet to RRA within 7 days. 

7. Issues/questions about the information in a CAB’s spreadsheet shall be resolved by the 

parties (RRA, DA, CAB) together as necessary.

8. One year after this RRA procedure is implemented, if there are no specific issues that need to 

be addressed, RRA will transition to using a direct verification process between CCAC and 

each CAB. At that time, RRA will work with the DAs as appropriate to modify this procedure. 

9. Recognized CAB participation in this test report verification procedures is a condition for 

continued RRA CAB recognition. 

Confidentially of the information provided shall be maintained.
