Abstract

Product liability(PL) law imposes the liability on manufacturer or wholesaler when the product defects cause harm to consumers of the products or any other parties in their lives, bodies, or properties. In Korea, the law of product liability was enforced in July 2002. In this study the Product Liability Response System of chemical products was developed by using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis(FMEA). For a case study peformed for N,N-Dimethylethylamine. First, product information was gathered through Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)and which considered as an instruction manual of chemical product. And an effect caused by product defects is analyzed by FMEA to get Risk Priority Number(RPN) which is calculated by multiplying of severity, occurrence, and detection of the defects. Then hazard was estimated quantitatively by RPN.

제조물책임(Product Liability : PL)이란 제조물의 결함으로 인하여 소비자 또는 제3자의 생명, 신체, 재산 등에 손해가 발생했을 경우 그 제조물의 제조자 또는 판매자 등에게 손해배상 책임을 부과시키는 법으로 국내에서는 제조물책임법은 2002년 7월 시행되었다. 본 연구에서 FMEA를 이용한 화학제품의 제조물책임 대응체계를 구성하였으며, 깍N-Dimethyethylamine을 사례로 적용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 우선 화학제품의 취급설명서 역할을 하는 MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet)를 통해 제품의 정보를 파악하고, 제품의 결함으로 인한 영향을 분석하는 FMEA기법을 적용하여 결함의 심각도, 결함의 발생빈도 및 검출도의 곱으로 정의된 RPN(Risk Priority Number)에 의하여 위험성을 정량적으로 제시하였다.
