Introduction
Technical aspects
Infrastructure implementation for Korean technology intensity
Electric power facility construction/operation-relevant experience and technology to be focused on KEPIC
Korea-localized support by use of Korean programs, technology and materials
Independent operation of qualification certification program for nuclear field
Support for practical use of Korean research and development products and securement of grounds for KS materials utilization
Small and medium business protection and advancement/p>
With easy-to-understand reference standards, offers a model of convenient application to on-site workers
Improvement of electric power workers' technology level and products' quality enhancement
Economic aspects
Electric power faciliy standardization
Securement and interpretation of 300 types of foreign standards and work load reduction
Quality improvement by designer, manufacurer and constructor's same quality system operation
Cost saving and process reduction
Cost saving by standardization, domestic certification and Korea-produced material use
Process reduction by quick solution of technology standard requirement problems
Globalization aspects
Expansion of foundation for KEPIC application in the global nuclear market by participating in MDEP [Multinational Design Evaluation Program] sponsored by OECD/NEA
Mutual recognition goal by harmonization of multi-national nuclear pressure device standards
Standards of only six countries: KEPIC Korea], ASME [USA], RCC-M [France], JSME [Japan], CSA [Canada], ENES [Russia]
Improvement of Korean companies' competitiveness in nuclear power plant and machinery exports
Securement of global standard agency's position by registration with ISO/IEC Information Center
Compliance with WTO/TBT Agreement's standard development process practice codes
One and only among Korean group standard agencies: Registered in Dec. 2001
Development equal to the global standards [ASME, IEEE, etc.]
Reflection of domestic technology in global standards
Registration of nuclear structure modulization technique [SC Structure]'s American Institute of Steel Construction [AISC] standards
Proposal for reflection of foreign technology standards [ASME Code] such as the nuclear power plant water pressure test, Post Weld Heat Treatment [PWHT], Heat-affected zone impact test improvement requirements
