Establishment of the Cultural Heritage Restoration Technology Committee... Review of Plans, Standards, and Designs

Conservatism, Restoration and Maintenance, and Modern and Contemporary Three Subcommittees Formed

The Cultural Heritage Repair Technology Committee, which investigates and reviews plans, standards, and designs related to cultural heritage repairs, has been launched.

On the 15th, the Cultural Heritage Administration announced that it had appointed thirty committee members and sixty expert members to serve on the Cultural Heritage Repair Technology Committee. Going forward, the committee will establish basic plans and standards for cultural heritage repairs and review matters such as repair plans and design approval examinations for nationally designated cultural properties.

The committee is composed of three subcommittees: Conservation, Restoration & Maintenance, and Modern & Contemporary. The terms of office for both committee members and expert members are three years. The Cultural Heritage Administration explained that the appointees are "individuals with expertise and balanced perspectives" and that efforts were made to avoid concentration in universities, regions, fields, or gender. In fact, nine members are women, and nineteen reside outside the Seoul metropolitan area.
