42-Day Inspection of 269 Sites Until July 2
Strict Measures Including Prosecution for Violations
Effectiveness Enhanced Through Participation of National Institute of Technology and Standards
[Asia Economy Reporter Kangwook Cho] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 2nd that from the 3rd to July 2nd (42 days), it will conduct a comprehensive quality control inspection of 269 ready-mixed concrete (Remicon) production plants.
This inspection is a follow-up measure to the 'Strengthening Remicon Quality Control Plan' announced last March. The Ministry will prioritize inspections of 269 Remicon production plants supplying Remicon to its affiliated institutions (Regional Land Management Offices), and in the second half of the year, it plans to conduct full inspections of production plants affiliated with or under the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), Korea Expressway Corporation, and other related organizations.
The inspection team consists of 211 personnel from a total of 10 institutions, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Korea Agency for Technology and Standards). External experts such as quality control technicians from the relevant ordering agency's construction sites will also participate as needed.
In particular, the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards, a Korean Industrial Standard (KS) certification body, will actively participate in this inspection to ensure effective and practical inspections.
If any Remicon production plants are found to have inadequate quality control or illegal activities during the inspection, strict measures such as refusal or cancellation of material supply source approval or criminal prosecution will be taken in accordance with relevant regulations.
