Apartment Complexes with Over 2,000 Households Must Complete Performance Inspections by the End of This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 8th that it will distribute a manual for mechanical equipment performance inspection.

This manual was created to guide the inspection and report writing methods following the enforcement of mechanical equipment maintenance standards, which made performance inspections mandatory for building and facility management entities.

Mechanical equipment performance inspection is a system that mandates regular inspections of heating, cooling, and ventilation equipment by management entities to maintain the performance and ensure the safety of mechanical equipment in buildings and other facilities.

This year, performance inspections must be conducted by the end of the year for buildings with a total floor area of 30,000㎡ or more and apartment complexes with 2,000 or more households, and the inspection report must be submitted upon request by local governments (city, county, district).

Woo Jeong-hoon, Director of the Construction Industry Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "As the performance inspection deadline (December 31) approaches, management entities should complete the inspection within the deadline to avoid fines (3 million KRW for the first violation) for failure to conduct the inspection."
