The Mechanical Equipment Industry Information System aims to systematically collect and effectively manage information and data on mechanical equipment installed in buildings, such as heating and cooling, ventilation systems, and sanitary equipment. By building administrative work systems and a civil service web portal within the platform, it supports local government officials in comprehensively handling administrative tasks related to mechanical equipment construction permits and approvals. It also provides statistical data related to the mechanical equipment industry, such as the registration status of performance inspection companies.

In particular, the platform will enable the submission and processing of a large volume of documents required for mechanical equipment construction, such as design and completion documents, online, which the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport expects to generate an annual benefit of approximately 2 billion KRW. By linking information from other administrative systems such as Seumteo, it will also manage the maintenance and performance inspection status of mechanical equipment in the target buildings.

The platform has been in pilot operation for the administrative work system since the 20th of last month, and from June, it is scheduled to be officially operated including the civil service web portal. In relation to this, the Ministry will hold user briefing sessions for mechanical equipment officials of local governments in seven regions from the 10th to the 23rd. In the future, it plans to promote and provide training on the information system for industry workers as well.

Woo Jeong-hoon, Director of the Construction Industry Division at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "We expect that the platform construction will save costs incurred when civil petitioners visit government offices and submit documents during administrative processing," adding, "We will continue to strive to provide high-quality services to the public even after official operation."
