In-country testing for EMC isn’t required for South Korea or Taiwan. An accredited lab in the US can be accredited in those countries by MRA between the FCC and the regulators in those countries. Or, the lab can be accredited locally. Only the PRC requires in-country testing for EMC.
At least, that was the situation when I retired from Intel a year and a half ago. I haven’t heard of any changes since then. Ghery S. Pettit, NCE Pettit EMC Consulting LLC [email protected] From: Vincent Lee [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 3, 2017 12:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] In-Country Testing Hi all, Happy 2017, Having read about IECEE CB Scheme in which over 50 countries are participating members who agreed to mutually recognize each other CB test reports and certificates, may I know 1) What is the reasons or rationale between the requirements of In-Country Test (EMC, Safety Test) by some countries (e.g. PRC China, South Korea and Taiwan for EMC, India and Thailand for Li-ion Battery Safety Test)? 2) Will the product operating principle and behavior (e.g. Li-ion battery electro-chemistry) changed significant so as to cause EMC and safety issues when they cross the borders from one country to another ? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and Happy 2017 ahead.
