Setopia Participates as Main Sponsor at Rare Earth International Standardization Conference General Assembly

Setopia announced on the 11th that it will participate as the main sponsor of the event hosted by the National Institute of Technology and Standards and organized by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology and the Korea Testing Laboratory for Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic Equipment at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Rare Earth Technical Committee (ISO/TC 298).

Through this main sponsorship, the company will support the overall event by sponsoring the dinner for distinguished guests visiting the event on the evening of the 12th, a Korean fusion gugak performance, and a small commemorative gift to celebrate the event held in Korea.

The 8th General Assembly of the ISO Rare Earth Technical Committee (ISO/TC 298) will be held from the 10th to the 13th at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Incheon. About 100 experts from 15 member countries, including Korea, the United States, China, and Australia, will attend the assembly to discuss rare earth standardization.

The Rare Earth Technical Committee was established in 2015 with China as the secretariat and is currently discussing standardization related to terminology, recycling, packaging and distribution, testing and analysis, and sustainability in the rare earth field. Currently, there are 15 full members and 21 associate members.

The National Institute of Technology and Standards plans to propose four new international standards at this meeting to implement the "Rare Earth International Standardization Strategy" announced in April, including terminology and test methods, measures to activate rare earth recycling, and new measurement standards for equipment durability. Korea has actively participated in international standardization activities and has proposed all three recycling standards established by the Rare Earth Technical Committee.

A Setopia official said, "We are pleased to participate as the main sponsor in the event establishing international standards for rare earths, rare materials highly valued as core materials in advanced fields and gaining global attention," adding, "Setopia, which established the first rare earth value chain in Korea, will continue to lead the domestic rare earth industry through various activities."
