방송통신기자재 적합성 평가제도 개선 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of a conformity assessment system is to facilitate the supply and sale of radio and telecommunication and broadcasting equipment in the market in compliance with technical standards to prevent electromagnetic interference with other equipment and harmful effects on human health. The conformity assessment system in South Korea is significantly oriented towards pre-regulation and constitutes a government-centered regulatory framework based on the grand principles of regulatory legislation, which mainly focus on minimal and post-regulatory processes. In this paper, the original purpose of the conformity assessment system is described and desirable policy alternatives are suggested to eliminate administrative inefficiency and to secure consumer interests and national competitiveness. In addition, it is stated that the National Radio Research Agency (RRA) should aim towards the overall management of radio spectrum policies, such as the recognition, management, and supervision of certification institutes, and follow-up collaborative governance between government and private sectors when the latter conduct certification and post-regulatory processes under the supervision of the RRA.
