Busan National University Ship and Offshore Plant Technology Research Institute Reaccredited as KOLAS Accredited Testing Institution
Accredited for Testing Capabilities in 17 Domestic and International Fire Safety Standards
Official International Test Reports Issuable Until 2029
Busan National University (President Choi Jaewon) announced on September 1 that the Ship and Offshore Plant Technology Research Institute (Director Ha Yeoncheol) has been re-accredited as an "official testing institution" by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) under the National Institute of Technology and Standards for 17 domestic and international standards in the field of fire safety.
The Busan National University Ship and Offshore Plant Technology Research Institute possesses the world's largest demonstration testing facilities on a 165,000-square-meter site in Galsa Bay, Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. Here, the safety performance of marine, land, and aerospace structures can be tested and evaluated under various extreme accident environments, including fire, explosion, collision, grounding, and sinking.
A "KOLAS accredited testing institution" refers to an organization that has been officially recognized for its international-level testing capabilities based on the international accreditation system for testing institutions, through a comprehensive evaluation of its quality management system, testing competence, and facility environment. KOLAS accreditation must be re-evaluated every four years, and the Busan National University research institute has passed its first re-evaluation since its initial accreditation in August 2021.
