With the increasing competitions and globalization of markets, quality has become rather crucial. Because of the significance of the quality, ISO 9000 quality standards has been used in Korea companies. It is difficult to understand ISO 9000 series since the expressions used in the series are not specific, but comprehensive. It is even more difficult to implement the quality system. This paper describes the problems found during the implementation and maintenance of the ISO 9000 standards in companies.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to provide a methodology that can facilitate efficient development of a product portfolio by utilizing Korean Standards(KS) networks. Methods: A case study on a steel manufacturing company is provided. Social network analysis h as been conducted on KS network and KS certification information of the company. Core test standards of a company have been identified. The core standards, then, used to construct a product-standard network of a corresponding industry. Results: As a result of analyzing product-standard networks, a product portfolio of a company has been developed. It has been shown that the candidate product portfolio is a cost-effective alternative in terms of standard maintenance cost. Conclusion: By using social network analysis, standards information can be used to support new product development process.

To improve the quality of standards of information and communication, well-structured testing and certification procedure for interoperability must be established. Thus, the testing and certification by well-known organizations is very imperative to verify whether standards meet requirements of minimum components properly that are essential to implement products and services in practice focusing on interoperability testing area. In this paper, we investigate cases of abroad and the current situation of our country in order to establish the well-structured testing and certification system and promote researches for the testing and certification system as a national policy in coincidence with revision of relating systems in interoperability testing area. And then we intend to introduce desirable direction for the testing and certification system.

The software installed on an aircraft is directly related to its safety. Therefore, it shall comply with the standards of the airworthiness certification to ensure safety of flight. Airborne software should be developed in accordance with the DO-178 (Software Consideration in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification) to comply with the airworthiness certification criterion. However, the military airborne software has been developed in accordance with the DAPA weapons system software development and management manual. In this paper, we completed a questionnaire survey of software experts. We also suggest a military airborne software development/certification process based on DO-178.

As buildings in the downtown area, such as the complex building connected to the skyscraper and the underground facility, have become large and complex, the range of target domain of the space information service is rapidly expanding to the interior space; it is considered that this change will create various demands of service such as the indoor geospatial information base safety, the management of facility, and the interior navigation in the future, along with spread of mobile devices and development of IT technology. As for the indoor geospatial information, however, there is no certification standard of the established indoor geospatial information data quality, so preparing the certification standard is urgent. Thus, this study reviewed foreign and domestic research cases and prepared measures for quality verification of the indoor geospatial information to conduct a verification test of the Yeongdeungpo Station indoor geospatial information, established in 2014. As a result, through the verification test of the method and standard of the indoor geospatial information quality certification suggested by this research, it was identified that the uniform and higher quality data could be classified, and the types of error high frequently occurring could be investigated. These results are expected to be utilized as the basic data for establishing quality certification system for the indoor geospatial information in the future.

Standards are increasing of importance for New & Renewable energy. The rapid growth of production is one reason for this but standards are equally important in ensuring the quality and reliability of installed New & Renewable energy systems, which have a propound impact on acceptance of the technology in the expanding marketplace. Korea government (Korea Agency for Technology and Standards, KAIST)make and implement a five year plans for promotion of international standardization of this field from 2004. KATS leads the technology innovations and eventually increases the international competitiveness. Strategic collaboration with other countries is also strengthened through Korea's participation in international standards and conformity assessment system such as IECEE(IEC system for conformity and certification of electrical equipment). One of the major goals of the Plan is to facilitate trade between Korea and its trading partners by emphasizing harmonization of its national conformity assessment system with international norms.

The production, processing, sale and service of food materials are not subject to attainment via a single country. In accordance with internationalization of the world, issues related to food safety have emerged as critical international concerns and they are closely associated with the health and interest of domestic consumers, producers, manufacturers, and distributors. As a third party certification standards, ISO 22000 is in progress International Organization for Standardization(ISO) and the Draft International Standard(DIS) has already been presented on December 2004. The purpose of this study is to analyze the international standards, guidelines and legislation in regard of Food Safety Management System(FSMS) including ISO 9001, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point(HACCP) and Product Liability(PL) so as to present Korean-model Food Safety Management System requirements and system establishment model.

In contemporary society, it is increasingly common to spend more time indoors. As such, there is a continually growing desire to build comfortable and safe indoor environments. Along with this trend, however, there are some serious indoor-environment challenges, such as the quality of indoor air and Sick House Syndrome. To address these concerns the government implements various systems to supervise and manage indoor environments. For example, green building certification is now compulsory for public buildings. There are three categories of green building certification related to indoor air in Korea: Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards, Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design(G-SEED), and Indoor Air Certification. The first two types of certification, Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards and G-SEED, evaluate data in a drawing plan. In comparison, the Indoor Air Certification evaluates measured data. The certification using data from a drawing requires a considerable amount of time compared to other work. A 2D tool needs to be employed to measure the area manually. Thus, this study proposes an automatic assessment process using a Building Information Modeling(BIM) model based on 3D data. This process, using open source Industry Foundation Classes(IFC), exports data for the certification system, and extracts the data to create an Excel sheet for the certification. This is expected to improve the work process and reduce the workload associated with evaluating indoor air conditions.

This paper investigates different QA standards such as KEPIC QAP, KEPIC END 1200, ISO/1EC 17025 etc. and as a result defines QA elements for Nuclear Power Plant equipment qualification(EQ) in Korea. This paper also proposes a practical QA certification system appropriate for an Integrated Organization for EQ which is being planned to be established in Korea. Since the level of the Korean EQ technology is comparatively low, the Korean manufacturers of the Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) equipment have usually used overseas EQ services. The EQ related organizations in Korea are making efforts to construct the integrated EQ system. In connection with this, it is required that the QA elements and QA certification system suitable for EQ in Korea be developed.
