Ensure the safety
Reliability of electric power facilities
Compliance with related national rules such as Electric Utility Act, Atomic Energy Act, Building Act, Framework Act on Fire Services.
Developed by the adaptation of foreign reference standards applied to electric power facilities in Korea.
Identical to the reference standards except for some editorial changes such as the use of KEPIC’s own categorizing & numbering system.
Developed on the basis of advanced domestic technologies in the absence of proper foreign reference standards.
Based on ASME BPVC Sec.Ⅲ NCA “General Requirements” and modified to be suitable for the industrial circumstances and situation in Korea.
Established KEPIC’s own Certification System for nuclear safety-related items including nuclear certification, authorized inspection, RPE, etc.
Adopted the ISO 9000 quality system and the authorized inspection system for non-nuclear safety related and thermal power items.
