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.

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.
