Recently, agricultural exports of Korea have steadily increased. But, no progress is being made at the WTO and DDA negotiations, the FTAs have played a leading role in the formulation of the international trade rules, and countries have been cleverly utilizing non-tariff barriers such as SPS and TBT, there is a growing need to respond to non-tariff barriers aggressively. On the other hand, since the FTA has the potential to activate the global value chain, there is a high need for exporting companies in the domestic agricultural sector to understand the structure of the global value chain in agriculture and actively utilize the global value chain. The non-tariff measures of agricultural commodities major trading partners in the field of domestic agricultural exports were mostly comprised of SPS measures and TBT measures. The non-tariff measures corresponding to inputs and production stages of value chain elements (seeds, seedlings) in the value chain were mainly reported in SPS measures. TBT measures are mainly carried out in selective packaging, storage, processing, distribution, and export sales. It is most important for agricultural export companies to know their position on the value chain and information on non-tariff measures of importing countries in order to actively utilize the global value chain. Since there are non-tariff barriers that are difficult to be solved at the individual enterprise level, active government support of the government is not only important but also actively promoting relevant information to farmers and agricultural exporters. In addition, potential export farmers and prospective export companies will be able to identify TBT and SPS and other non-tariff barriers well in advance, and respond to them in advance. Also, through networking with export related organizations and overseas buyers, It is very important that policy support from the perspective of global value chain is linked effectively.

As the international trade has been increased, unified worldwide standards are getting more important and necessary. At the TBT(Agreement on Technical Barrier to Trade) of WTO(World Trade Organization) and the CTI meeting of APEC(Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), they made an agreement with applying International Standards to National Standards gradually. In addition, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) established the ISO/IEC Guide 21, a guideline for applying International Standards to National Standards. In these environment, Korean Industrial Standards has to be prepared for it. This paper introduce the comparison between Korean Industrial Standards and ISO Standards about the standards of sampling and testing the fresh concrete, based on ISO/IEC Guide 21 by ISO and the Applying guideline by Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, and then discuss the problem about applying them. The overall objective is to establish the applying guideline on construction fields, which is civil and building engineering part(KS F) of Korean Industrial Standards.

The United States has had the superiority in the global trading market, and focused on the deregulation, decentralization, and often competitiveness. Also, it has adhered to pluralistic and uncoordinated systems for its various standard related activities. But with the WTO TBT entering into force late in 1990s, international standards have become more important in the global telecommunication market. So it has been recognized that the progressive standard activity would lead to keep the superiority of the nation in global telecommunication market. Specially, as the EU has been most active in building an agreed-upon technical standards among Its members, the US has faced with a serious problem that it has lack of agreed-upon infrastructure for standards. Hence, to keep the leadership in international telecommunications market, now it has been focusing on the national approach to standardization activities through the governmental support. For the implementation of above purposes, it amended 2 Acts. One is the Telecommunication Act of 1996. The other is NTTAA(National Technology Transfer and Advancement Art) of 1996, which was enacted according to the 1995 report "Standards, Conformity Assessment, and Trade into the 21 Century" by )TRC(National Research Council). In this paper, we analyse the US legal system in telecommunication standardization field including above arts and their Implementing plans. And we suggest the need for the active system of government in our telecommunication standardization.

Recent WTO/TBT agreement was adopted by the IEC domestic. For this reason, low voltage electrical equipment was many Confusion arises. Low voltage circuit was also one of these. The case of low voltage circuit, existing domestic circuit breakers and circuit breakers IEC curve differs from the behavior of each other. If low voltage circuit breaker wrong facility, circuit breaker malfunction may occur due to the large property damage. In this paper, to solve these problems domestic circuit breakers and circuit breaker operation IEC curves were analyzed. And, through experiments suggested compatible breaker way.

정보화 사회의 급격한 변화로 첨단 기기들은 우리의 생활에 없어서는 안 될 존재가 되었지만 이는 각종 노이즈 및 서지에 노출되어 있다. 또한 기상이변으로 낙뢰에 대한 피해가 점점 증가하고 있어 효율성이 높은 대책이 요구된다. 따라서 KS 9609는 단순 보호각에 의한 건축물 보호로 폐지되고 WTO의 TBT협약에 의한 기술 부합화 차원에서 KS C IEC 61024로 제정되었다. 그리고 미흡한 부분을 보완하고 강화시킨 62305라는 새로운 피뢰설비 규격을 받아들였다. 그러나 이것 역시 실제 적용시 여러가지 문제점이 드러났다. 본 논문에서는 KS C IEC 62305의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 해결하기 위한 방안에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

After 1th line was built in 1974, the history of subway in Korea has been expended to 9th line which is under construction. It is time to prepare nation wide subway grounding system urgently according to the domestic electric standard that aligns to world wide standard by WTO/TBT treat (1995). Newly added grounding system to the fundamentally different system caused many problems. PSD(platform screen door) and other newly added equipment are also need grounding system. By the electrical code(established by Korea Electric Association), low voltage equipment(including grounding system) under 1,000V AC are in the process of change into IEC 60374. IEC 60364 standard will be added to the electrical code(established by Korea Electric Association) in 2007 and amended and after 3-5 years later, it will become a complete IEC 60364. So the purpose of this study is to compare the domestic rail road grounding system and suggest the standardized grounding system for the newly built subway.

The purpose of this study is to identify in two aspects the relationship between standardization activities and technological development at the firm level. The first aspect is to analyze the relationship between the current Korean industrial standards system and the firm's technological development vis-a-vis quality standards. The analysis reveals that even if Korean firms recognize the importance of standards, the level of product quality of the KS mark is still lower compared to the average world level. The survey also reveals that the reasons for acquiring ISO and KS marks are mainly aimed at enforcing company image and increasing quality management mind, rather than to foster technological innovation. The second aspect explores how much Korean industrial standards (KS marks) affect the firm's technological development in the Process of standards acquisition activities. The survey results show that standardization activities have a less positive impact on technological innovation than on the maintenance of consistent production works.

The Korea-US dispute on telecom standards has shown the inability of existing trade rules that can be applicable to standardization policy in telecom services sector. It has entailed plenty of dissenting but unsolved trade issues, including legal jurisdiction over technical standards on telecom services and their compatibility with WTO agreements. Question remains how US will cope with this tricky trade puzzle. This paper points out that Korea-US negotiations on telecom standards have provided US with a momentum to think seriously over the necessity of further rule-setting on telecom standards, and FTAs are the rescue train for US to ride on for that purpose. That is to say, US is taking advantage of FTA as a means to promote its national commercial goals by creating trade rules, which seek to deprive its trading partners of regulatory autonomy in telecom standardization. Based upon the research output, it is very important for Korean government in the upcoming Korea-US FTA negotiations to ensure facilitating public policy objectives in telecom standardization as possible as it can, and not to adopt the provision of international standards in the existing US' FTAs.

21세기 세계시장의 도전에 즈음하여 표준개발에 대한 글로벌 기반구조(Infrastructure)가 변화의 계기를 맞고 있다. 하나는 WTO/TBT 협정의 발효로 세계를 대상으로 제품과 시스템을 생산 및 판매하기 위한 표준 및 시방서의 필요성이 커지고 있다는 측면이고 다른 하나는 지구촌 시민이 사용하는 관련제품과 시스템에 대한 보건, 안전 및 환경을 지킬 필요성이다. 모든 표준이 시발점부터 세계를 대상으로 하는 표준시스템으로 개발이 되었다면 문제가 없었을 것이나 대부분의 국가가 자기 나라 차원에서 표준을 개발하였으므로 국제레벨에서 표준문제를 해결하는 일은 아주 복잡하고 어렵다. 이 글은 미국 국립표준기술원(NIST)이 미국의 표준을 세계화하기위한 기반구조 구축의 정책 방향에 관한 내용을 요약한 것이다. 미국은 세계 유일의 초강대국으로 세계시장에 대한 도전, 제작자와 공급자 사이의 상호 연계성, 지구촌 어느 소비자에게 공급된 제품에 대하여도 보건, 안전 및 환경을 지킬 필요성 등을 목표로, 현재의 미국 제도를 21세기 세계표준으로 정착시키겠다는 전략이다.

WTO의 출현으로 국제 무역환경은 더 이상 자국 산업 보호를 위한 방파제를 사용하지 못하도록 무역상기술장벽(TBT) 협정을 체결하였으며, 더 나아가서는 각국의 승인제도를 일치 또는 조화시키려는 상호인정협정(MRA)을 추진하고 있다. 이에 세계 각국은 새로운 환경 변화에서 자국의 이익을 극대화하기 위한 적극적으로 MRA를 추진하고 있는 상황이다. 또한 최근 중요성이 높아지고 있는 정보통신기기 MRA는 향후 우리나라 정보통신산업에 막대한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인이 되고 있다. 여기서는 정보통신기기 MRA에 대한 전반적인 이해와 더불어 특히 그 중요성이 부각되고 있는 APEC 정보통신 MRA의 최근 동향을 중심으로 살펴봄으로써, 국제적 환경변화에 대한 우리나라의 시사점에 대해서 살펴보고자 한다.
