ATIC Korea Vehicle Type Approval

South Korea

Automotive Component KC Certification
In South Korea, Motor Vehicle Management Act is to manage motor vehicles efficiently and secure the performance and safety of motor vehicles by prescribing the matters concerning the registration, safety standards, self-authentication, correction of manufacturing defects, inspection, maintenance, testing of motor vehicles, and motor vehicle management business, etc., and thereby contributing to promoting public welfare.

A person who intends to manufacture, assemble or import a motor vehicle (including the incomplete motor vehicle and the motor vehicle manufactured by phase) shall self-authenticate that the model of the relevant motor vehicle meets the safety standards (Korea Motor Vehicle Safety Standard - KMVSS) for motor vehicles (in cases of an incomplete motor vehicle or a motor vehicle manufactured by phase, referring to the safety standards for motor vehicles to be applied as at the time when a manufacture, etc. concerned is finished), as determined by Ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

It is difficult to post-manage such as the damage to car owners and recall of defective parts, which are distributed without verification of the safety of parts and devices purchased and installed by consumers in automobiles, and to secure public safety from these parts and devices. Increase the need for government management. 

For certain automotive parts entering the aftermarket, KC (Korea Certification) scheme is applied which was regulated by the Ministry of Industry. From 2018, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) has taken over the regulating and supervising responsibilities of KC certification for automotive components.

ATIC has successfully provided certification and consulting services for Chinese electric vehicle OEMs ever since the year of 2016. ATIC conducts in-depth regulation research, set up regular technical meeting with Korea Automotive Testing and Research Institute (KATRI), Korea Transportation Pollutant Research Center (TPRC) and Korea Automotive Parts Association (KAPA).
