There are a number of problems with this request in addition to the 14 year old data. The last I reviewed the Korea requirements, though very close to the EN requirements, there were differences, and the testing must be done at a lab recognized by Korea – some are located in Canada and the US.

Don't take any more calls from the customer, unless it is prefaced with a request for a quote for the new testing required. _____ From: Ron Pickard RPQ <rpick...@rpqconsulting.com> To: "'McInturff, Gary'" <gary.mcintu...@esterline.com> Cc: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 9:01 PM Subject: RE: Sanity check - Korea please Hi Gary, Korea aside, how would a 14 yr old EU/CE EMC test report still provide a presumption of conformity with the current EMC or R&TTE Directives as their lists of harmonized standards are regularly revised/updated? Given the EU standards you’re referencing, I assume that the product in question is an unintentional radiator (no wireless transmitters). Does safety (60950-1, 60950, 950) also apply? What inter-communication features does this product have (PSTN, etc.)? As you can see, depending on this product’s features, actual compliance time/costs can spiral further than a new EMC test report. Regarding Korea, I will have to bow to others more experienced with the new KCC requirements. Best regards, Ron Pickard From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of McInturff, Gary Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 6:26 PM To: 'EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG' Subject: Sanity check - Korea please I have a customer with a EMC test about 14 years old now – and it was done to US and EU requirements 55022 55024 etc. They now have a requirement for Korea and are insisting that Korean approval can be gained without a Korean acceptance of the test – which requires documented evidence that the tests were perform at Korean required voltage an frequency. Ignoring the fact that generally no county accepts test reports that old for a new approval even if the design has never changed. Can anyone verify that Korea will not accept for approval test data that doesn’t clearly indicate the appropriate test voltages and frequencies are used – will they accept European test voltages. The bottom line is that after 14 years they have a new requirement and want us to eat the cost of getting it, somehow assuming we should have known better than they that in the far distant future they would have a new market.
