[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The Small and Medium Business Technology Information Promotion Agency (TIPA) announced on the 24th that it has obtained the 'Disaster Reduction Excellent Company Certification (KSBCM-271)' administered by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Disaster Reduction Excellent Company Certification is a system certified by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety that evaluates disaster reduction activities of organizations that establish and implement disaster reduction activity plans according to corporate disaster management standards, and recognizes excellent organizations with the capability to quickly restore core organizational functions in emergencies.

TIPA recognized the necessity of establishing a systematic system to ensure that its core function, the evaluation and management of SME R&D, would not be interrupted by various disasters such as COVID-19, and has been pursuing the acquisition of the Disaster Reduction Excellent Company Certification since November of last year.

In particular, TIPA systematically organized performance records of activities such as organizational management status analysis, business impact analysis, risk assessment, business continuity strategy establishment, and executive review, and achieved the certification through document evaluation and on-site evaluation.

Following the acquisition of the international standard Occupational Health and Safety Management System (ISO45001) in 2019, which recognized its disaster management capabilities, TIPA has now completed the establishment of a management system to maintain continuity of core tasks in the event of disasters and accidents by also obtaining the Disaster Reduction Excellent Company Certification.

Lee Jae-hong, Director of TIPA, stated, "As a dedicated support agency for SME R&D, Small and Medium Business Technology Information Promotion Agency will maintain business continuity without interruption of core functions even in disasters such as COVID-19."
