In the international trade of battery products, converting from CB certification to KC certification is a crucial step to enter the South Korean market. Unlike other certifications, KC certification has strict restrictions on the certificate holder - only Korean importers or production plants are allowed to be the certificate holders. This premise determines that the preparation of materials must simultaneously meet the compliance requirements of both China and South Korea. The following is a detailed summary of the essential materials and precautions for you.

Basic qualification documents

1. Business License: A copy of the latest business license of the enterprise must be provided to ensure that the address information is consistent with the actual production (refer to the principle of address consistency).

2. Factory English ISO9001 certificate: As a proof document of the quality management system, an English version must be provided to meet the audit requirements of the Korean certification body.

Technical document system

Component specification sheet: An English version or a Chinese-English bilingual version must be provided, which must include a detailed explanation of the silk-screened (the identification symbols on the product surface) to ensure the traceability of component information.

2. Battery and cell specification sheet: Also requires an English version or a Chinese-English bilingual version. The content should cover circuit diagrams, PCB Layout design diagrams on both sides, precise product size diagrams, packaging specifications and waste disposal guidelines. Since the parameters in the specification sheet directly affect the test results, special attention should be paid to the accuracy and completeness of the parameters.

3. Terminal product Manual: Provide in Korean or English version, clearly stating product functions, usage methods and safety precautions.

Authentication associated file

CB Certificate and Report: As the basis for conversion, a complete and valid battery CB certification certificate and test report must be provided to ensure that the test standards in the report are compatible with the requirements of KC certification.

The preparation of KC certification materials should take into account both standardization and detailed accuracy. Any missing documents or information errors may lead to certification delays. It is recommended that enterprises establish a pre-review mechanism for materials, with a focus on verifying the consistency of the parameters in the specification sheet and the accuracy of foreign language documents, to ensure compliance with the review standards of the Korea Industrial Technology Research Institute and successfully complete the certification conversion process.
