Kiturami Obtains National Disaster Safety Product Certification

Four Types of Gas Boilers Equipped with Gas Leak Detectors and Earthquake Sensors
Dual Safety System Gas Boilers Installed Since the Mid to Late 1990s

Kyungdong Boiler's 25 years of disaster safety technology has received government certification. Kyungdong announced on the 7th that its gas boiler products equipped with a dual safety system consisting of a gas leak detector and an earthquake sensor have obtained the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Disaster Safety Product Certification.'

The Disaster Safety Product Certification system is a program in which the government officially certifies the quality of products closely related to public safety. Certification is determined after three rounds of rigorous evaluation. The products that received the Disaster Safety Product Certification this time include gas boilers such as ▲Geokkuro NEW Condensing Plus ▲Geokkuro NEW Condensing L10 ▲Geokkuro ECO Condensing L11 ▲Twin Alpha ECO L10.

Kyungdong has applied a dual safety system composed of an earthquake sensor and a gas leak detector to gas boilers since the mid to late 1990s, when earthquake response safety technology was unfamiliar. This system is a technology that detects natural disasters and safety accidents in advance and stops the boiler operation. The gas leak detector stops the boiler operation if gas leaks inside the boiler and informs the user of the gas leak. The earthquake sensor stops the boiler operation when it detects strong vibrations caused by earthquakes or nearby construction, preventing secondary damage such as explosions or fires.

To further enhance the completeness of the dual safety system, Kyungdong is continuously conducting research and development on safety technology, such as improving the earthquake sensor from a vibration switch type to an accelerometer type and enhancing the performance of semiconductor sensors that detect gas leaks. A Kyungdong Boiler official said, “Based on the principle of prioritizing safety, we are continuously upgrading disaster safety technology so that consumers can use our products with peace of mind even in unexpected disasters and accidents.”
