IN THE KOREAN MARKET
ISMANING, Germany, October 20, 2011 – SCM Microsystems, a leading provider of solutions for secure access,
secure identity and secure exchange and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV),
today announced that several of its smart card readers have been certified for use in the Korean market and now
carry the official Korea Certification (KC) mark.
Readers certified for use in Korea include SCM’s SCL3711 and SCL011 contactless readers, SDI011 dual interface
reader and SCR3310v2.0 and SCR3500 contact readers. The certification signifies compliance with all standards and
requirements of the Korean authorities for radio communications equipment. The KC mark ensures that the readers
can now be used by government agencies, enterprises and private users.
"Korea’s rapid adoption of smart card-based technologies for telecommunications, banking and payments,
transportation and corporate ID makes it an attractive growth opportunity for SCM, and certification of our readers is
an important step to penetrating this key Asian market," said Dr. Manfred Mueller, chief executive officer of SCM
Microsystems. “This initial certification brings value to our customers in Korea as it allows them to leverage proven
SCM technologies to quickly build and certify their own market solutions. As part of our global certification
program we will continue to pursue certifications for additional product families in the coming months.”
About the KC mark
The KC labeling is comparable to the CE and FCC marking and declaration of conformity standards in many
countries. These designations certify that each product meets the applicable regulations for quality and safety in each
country and has been tested according to prescribed conformity assessment procedures. The KC mark was launched
by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) and is valid for all radio communications equipment.
For the testing procedure SCM utilized a testing laboratory accredited by the Korean Radio Research Agency
(RRA).
