It is very important to evaluate how the functions of products, facilities, and spaces affect human life. The evaluation of these actions has legal regulations such as certification, inspection, and diagnosis, and the degree of quality, safety, and excellence of the results is announced. This study sought to secure safety through efficient system operation by reviewing safety-related certification systems established and implemented by each government department in Korea and analyzing the characteristics of each system and similarities between systems. There was also an aspect of cross-checking safety through the certification and diagnosis system implemented by each ministry, but it was confirmed that the efficiency of the system should also be considered in terms of overlapping application. Therefore, when securing safety is confirmed based on each safety-related law, active alternatives such as exemption, substitution, delegation, etc. should be presented.

To improve the safety of tap water, a study was conducted on the introduction of sanitation safety certification system for water treatment plants(WTPs). In order to produce and supply safe tap, the inflow of pollutants should be blocked as much as possible during the tap water production process, and contaminated materials should be removed or inactivated to a safe level in the WTPs. In order to block the inflow of pollutants in WTPs, it is necessary to strengthen the sanitation management such as installation of facilities for preventing inflow and habitat of larvae, and to remove or inactivate pollutants in the tap water production process, strengthening the safety management such as enhanced turbidity management is needed. Sanitation and safety management in the WTPs can be significantly improved by introducing certification system of WTPs. This will induce continuous improvement in water purification plants with insufficient sanitation and safety management, and provide incentives for WTPs with good sanitation and safety management. In addition, when the WTPs sanitation and safety certification system is established, it is desirable to expand the proposed system from WTPs to the entire process of tap water production and supply.

도선사가 되려는 사람은 선장 경력을 갖추고 도선수습생 전형시험과 도선사 시험에 합격한 다음에 해양수산부장관의 면허를 받아야 한다. 우리나라는 정부에서 도선 수요를 감안하여 도선사 면허의 수(數)를 제한하고 있어서 도선사 면허를 위한 도선수습생전형시 험은 절대적 평가기준 없이 응시자 시험성적에 따라 상대평가를 실시함에 따라 문제의 소지가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 도선사 시험제도 에 대한 문제점을 도출하여 개선방안을 제시하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 도선사 시험제도 변천 내역을 조사하였고, 도선사 자격기준 에 관한 국제기준을 분석하고 현직 도선사 77명에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 연구의 결과로써 국내 도선수습생 전형시험의 개선방 안과 도선사 자격증명 제도개선의 단계적 실행방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과가 도선사 자격증명에 관한 정부의 정책 개발뿐만 아니 라 관련 학술적 기초자료도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

내시경 검사는 지난 반세기 동안 광학기술의 발달과 다양한 보조기구의 개발로 눈부신 발전을 이루어 왔다. 특히 췌장담도 분야의 내시경 검사와 시술은 고난이도의 술기이며 전문적인 시술을 이루기 위해서는 별도의 수련과정이 필요하며 시술 연관 합병증이 발생하지 않도록 늘 조심해야 한다. 전문 의학분야에서 인정의 제도는 대한의학회에서 세부·분과전문의 제도로 운영되고 있으며 해당 세부·분과전문 분야의 우수한 자질과 능력을 갖춘 임상의사를 양성함으로써 학문과 의료기술의 발전에 공헌하고 의사 개인의 자기 발전을 도모하며 국민 보건 향상에 기여함을 목적으로 시행되고 있다. 우리나라 건강보험제 도는 국민의 질병 · 부상에 대한 예방·진단·치료·재활과 출산·사망 및 건강 증진에 대하여 보험급여를 실시함으로써 국민보건을 향상시키고 사회보장을 증진함을 목적으로 하고 있다(국민건강보험법 제1조). 내 시 경 역 행 담 췌 관 조 영 술 ( e n d o s c o p i c r e t r o g r a d e cholangiopancreatography, ERCP) 인증의 역시 고난이도의 시술을 시행하는 의사로서 전문성을 유지하여 국민보건을 향상시키는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 본고에서는 인증의 제도가 국민건강보험제도에서 어떻게 반영되고 있는지를 고찰하고, 향후 ERCP 인증의가 국민에게 미치는 영향에 대해 생각해 보는 시점이 되고자 한다. 이를 통해 ERCP 인증의 제도가 올바르게 자리매김을 하고 오로지 국민건강향상을 위해 운영되고자 국내의 현황과 제도를 알아보고자 한다.

ERCP 시술을 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 대상 질환에 대한 이해와 함께 적절한 교육과 수련, 일정량 이상의 시술 경험이 뒷받침되어야 성공적인 시술 및 최소 합병증 가능성으로 환자에게 도움을 줄 수 있다. 그러나 ERCP 시술은 무거운 방사선 방호복을 입고 방사선 피폭과 합병증 발생의 위험성을 감수하면서, 집중력을 발휘해야 하는 시술로 내시경을 이용한 시술 중에서 가장 난이도가 높다고 여겨지고 있다. ERCP를 능숙하게 시행하기 위해서는 지도감독하의 적절한 수련 및 충분한 시술 경험, 적절한 대상 환자의 선택이 필요하다. 따라서 대한췌장담도학회에서는 ERCP 시술의 교육과 질관리 유지를 위하여 “췌장담도내시경 인증의” 제도를 시행하기 위하여 추진위원회를 구성하였고, 관련 규정 개발과 설문조사, 학술대회 발표 등을 통하여 제도 시행에 대한 청사진을 마련하였다.

우리 사회에 출생률 감소와 급속한 고령화, 일자리 감소와 소득 양극화 등 사회·경제적으로 부정적인 여건이 대두되고 지속되면서 앞으로의 경제전망은 더욱 어두워지고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 정부는 경제 활성화를 위하여 미래 혁신성장동력 확보, 규제혁신 등 여러 경제정책을 종합하여 추진하고 있다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 미래 성장동력으로 쉽게 여겨지지 않는 농식품분야에서 유망한 대표적인 신산업을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 고령친화식품산업과 펫푸드(Pet Food)산업에 대하여 산업 활성화를 위한 규제개선의 과제로 품질인증제 도입을 제시하고 이로 인한 경제적 효과도 예시적으로 계측하였으며, 마지막으로 이것이 갖는 경제학적 의미를 논의하였다. 두 농식품분야 신산업에서의 품질인증제 시행은 식품의 안전성을 강화하는 동시에 사회 전체 후생도 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 기대된다.

In this study, based on the System Dynamics (SD) methodology, the interrelationship between the factors inherent in the operation of the New Technology Certification System (NTCS) in Korea was identified by a causal map containing a feedback loop mechanism in connection with ‘new technology development investment’, ‘commercialization of new technology’, and ‘sales by new technology’. This conceptualized causal map was applied to the simulation of the operations of the New Excellent Technology and Environmental Technology Verification System (NET&ETV) run by the Ministry of Environment among various NTCSs in Korea. A SD computer simulation model was developed to analyze and predict the operational performance of the NET&ETV in terms of key performance indices such as ‘sales by new technology’. Using this model, we predicted the future operational status the NET&ETV and found a policy leverage that greatly influences the operation of the NET&ETV. Also the sensitivity of the key indicators to changes in the external variables in the model was analyzed to find policy leverage.

In advanced countries, various policies are being enforced to reduce equipment noise level at it’s source. This paper analyses the problems of domestic noise policies related to noisy equipment, and presents a plan for improving the implementation of expansion policy of low noise equipment based on this analysis. This paper proposes that the equipment satisfying the compulsory rule be able to use the environmental certification mark, the standards of which are defined in recommended rules, to improve the linkage between the two policy measures. This paper also suggests expanding the range of equipment to be supervised and using new noise label that has grades and shows detailed noise level of the equipment to improve environmental certification system. In addition, supplementing the construction permission system and supporting international certification system are offered to expand the use of low noise equipment.

숙련도선사 퇴직자수의 증가와 신규도선사의 급격한 고령화는 향후 7년 사이에 도선사 수급의 불균형 심화라는 문제를 일으키 고 나아가 항만도선의 안전에도 치명적인 문제를 야기할 우려가 커지고 있다. 이 연구는 도선사 수급 불균형 해소 및 숙련도선사 확보를 위한 제도 개선방안을 제시하였다. 이 연구의 방법론은 현황조사 및 분석, 통계분석, 해외사례 조사 분석, 전문가의 자문 등을 채택하였 다. 연구 결론은 첫째, 도선사시험 응시요건을 선장 경력 현행 5년에서 2년(최근 5년 내 1년 이상의 경력 포함)으로 완화하되, 도선사 승급 을 위한 도선경력 요건을 현행 1년에서 1년 6개월로 강화하는 방안을 제시하였다. 둘째, 승무경력 가산점 제도를 합리화하기 위하여 선장 승무경력 요건 2년을 초과하는 매 1년당 1점씩 가산하되 최대 10점을 한도로 하는 개정안을 제시하였다. 숙련도선사를 확보하고 면허갱 신제도와 정년제도 간의 법적 충돌문제를 해결하기 위하여 도선사 정년제도는 폐지하고, 면허의 발급이나 갱신 때에 일정 나이가 넘는 경우 68세까지만 유효한 기간을 연장하는 방법으로 해결하는 방안을 제시하였다. 향후 추진과제로는 이해 당사자의 의견수렴과정과 공감 대를 형성해 나가며 아울러 도선사수습시험제도에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

This study is for figuring out major components of construction quality infrastructure and suggesting improvement plan by benchmarking global best practice model and analyzing gap between the model and sample practice. Based on improvement plan, researcher could derive major characters and components of construction quality infrastructure, and also about the priority among core competency components of construction quality experts. The result showed that the 'human resource' was ranked the best priority followed by 'method' 'environment', 'equipment' among major characters and components of construction quality infrastructure. Also, for core competency components of construction quality experts, 'number of years in work places' was the best priority, and the 'professional knowledge on engineering' was another priority ranked. Far from general perception on competency components, 'academic education' ranked the last. It may allude that the current education system in this country is not effective in developing competency of quality engineers. In summary, this study shows professionalism of quality engineer is the most important thing in all the components.

Despite increasing public concern following mass media coverage regarding the risk of radon to human health and the need to control it, there remains a lack of infrastructure for measuring and mitigating radon. Against this backdrop, this paper is part of an effort to formulate an environment-management framework that can help resolve environmental issues relating to radon, ease fears regarding the associated risks, and provide radon-specific quality services. This study aimed to suggest locally applicable measures for training experts specializing in the fields of measuring and mitigating radon mainly based on US cases in which radon measurement and mitigation certification programs have been systematically run and supervised. Given the lack of both awareness on radon and experts in Korean circumstances, it is necessary to come up with a scheme to develop a radon-specific education program and a framework for expert accreditation. Thus, as groundwork for their introduction considering local circumstances, top-down measures led by the relevant department of government-led organizations, which will act as the control tower, should first be implemented to best utilize the insufficient human resources in this area. In addition, more systematic and detailed educational programs and an expert certification system need to be developed in accordance with the established foundations, and to support their consistent operation, a relevant administrative system should be constructed.

For the sustainable development, companies are making a lot of efforts such as activities of sales increase and cost reduction. Among these, efforts to use limited resources efficiently and effectively is still being made steadily. And many methods for management innovation are being introduced and used. However there were partial or temporary effects only. So there are not enough to achieve operations performance to cover the entire system. Therefore, in order to maximize performance or to improve sustainability across the companies, it is necessary to rebuild the existing system with process perspective not with existing functional perspective. This study was performed to achieve the objective that is operation performance improvement of certification body. So literature review was researched and analyed about the process innovation and the process approach. And basic model which is compatible with ISO/IEC 17021 requirement for the certification body was established in this study. Based on this model, one of the certification body was selected and operation system for this organization was established, documented and implemented through the process approach method. In the result, operations performance of certification body on the side of efficiency and effectiveness is analyzed and the effect of reconstruction of system on operations performance was figu

Many advanced treatment processes have been introduced to WTPs, however, the consumer confidence on tap water is still low and the percentage of drinking water directly from the tap is less than 2 %. One of the methods to improve the credibility of tap water is to introduce a drinking water certification system. By introducing the system, water treatment processes can be optimized, which in turn, can significantly improve drinking water quality. In this paper, 6 water quality parameters(i.e., turbidity, CT, residual chlorine, geosmin, 2-MIB, Mn) which have significant influences on tap water quality and consumer confidence were identified, and their recommended guidelines were proposed. 3-Star or 5-Star certification can be awarded to the WTPs which have met the certification criteria. The drinking water certification system can be carried out as a voluntary program among drinking water suppliers.
