Galaxy S24 Ultra clears safety certification in South Korea

The Galaxy S24 Ultra has cleared the safety certification through the Korea Testing & Research Institute. The Korean version of the smartphone, carrying model number SM-S928N, cleared the certification on November 20. Every device that is to be sold in South Korea needs to pass the KC mark, and the Korea Testing & Research Institute offers that certification. The device tested was manufactured by Samsung Electronics' Gumi plant in Gyeongbuk and the Thai Nguyen plant in Vietnam.

Last month, the Galaxy S24 Ultra's S Pen, featuring model number EJ-PS928, cleared the National Radio Research Institute certification. The phone also passed the Anatel certification on the 24th of October. Anatel is a Brazilian certification agency for smartphones and other mobile devices.
