Ismaning, Germany, October 20, 2011 (euro adhoc) - 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).
