Korea (KOLAS) is a signatory of APLAC (Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) along with the United States (NVLAP and A2LA). It is my understanding that, in the near future, this will change the way Korean approvals are done. I am not sure of the details.......................can anyone shed further light on what exactly APLAC will accomplish?

Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US) Subject: Re: Korean approvals Bill, If you are not a Canadian Corporation and/or applicant you should have a rep or agent in Korea. This is the fundamental difference between the situation for a Canadian company. When the MRA was written this point was not clarified for non-Canadian applicants such that the process has been to have an agent, though in some cases non-Canadian applicants have obtained approval in their name in Korea without the agent being the applicant, though the agent/rep had to be involved. KTL also received safety accreditation from RRL for telecom equipment within the last few days. Details should be available from KTL shortly. Regards G. Rae Dulmage, B.

This is good news as last time I looked at this and even spoke to KTL Canada the situation was that you must have an agent or rep either in Canada or Korea. It is good to see this relaxation and thanks for the info. > > Bill Ellingford > Motion Media Technology > > ---------- > From: Graham Rae Dulmage[SMTP:grdulm...@sympatico.ca] > Sent: 16 June 1999 04:43 > To: t...@world.std.com > Subject: Re: Korean approvals > > Even if you are not Canadian you can still test at KTL.

Obtain a CENELEC CB scheme safety test report first as this will simplify the safety submission but make sure you submit the safety to the Korean CB scheme lab. They will then variffy the report for RRL. Going direct to RRL will involve a high level of testing which includes parts that are accepted elsewhere under different approval schemes. > > > > The MIC (Ministry of Information & Communications) and the RRL (Radio Regulations Lab) both publish data on the www.
