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.
