  • As multidisciplinary marine research is actively conducted, various types of marine research facilities and equipment are purchased every year. However, among marine research facilities and equipment, it is difficult to classify and manage various types of field observation equipment used for environmental data collection and sample collection under the current national research facility and equipment standard classification system. In the case of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology, about 30% of research facilities and equipment are unclassified and not properly managed. In this study, marine research facilities and equipment are classified into 7 middle and 36 sub-classes according to their characteristics. It is proposed to add a large classification group called 'Environmental Observation/Analysis Equipment', to the national research facility equipment standard classification system. In addition, it is proposed to classify the equipment operated in the laboratory among marine research facilities and equipment according to the existing national research facility equipment standard classification system. Through this, it is expected that all of Korea's marine-related research facilities and equipment can be systematically classified and managed effectively.
