(NewsNibs) - The Ochang branch was assessed as part of a comprehensive review of 302 service providers. This evaluation, governed by the 'Environmental Testing and Inspection Act', focuses on the accuracy and dependability of air and water quality measurements. The prestigious 'S grade' signals exceptional proficiency in environmental testing, a statement by the Ministry of Environment outlined. The results were made publicly accessible through the 'Environmental Measurement Analysis Information Management System'.
Reliability and Operational Excellence
Introduced in 2021, the performance evaluation system aims to bolster the trust in the measurements provided by entities like FITI. Firms are rated annually from grades 'S' to 'E', with the evaluation criteria encompassing the condition of facilities, the caliber of equipment, the qualifications of personnel, and observable work performance as reviewed by industry experts. Notably, the Ochang branch was applauded for its steadfast operational system and the accuracy of its measurement and analysis results.
Continued Commitment to Excellence
Kim Hwa-young, who helms the FITI Testing & Research Institute, credited the superior rating to the staunch devotion to the essentials of air and water quality measurement services. These essentials include having adept personnel, advanced equipment, and robust safety and health protocols. Hwa-young pledged to keep driving improvements and broadening capabilities to advance the standing of South Korea’s environmental measurement services.
The 'S grade' rating is a testament not just to their current service quality in air and water metrics, but also emphasizes FITI's dedicated efforts in diverse environmental safeguards. This includes operating the pioneering Industrial Environment Improvement Support Center dedicated to curtailing industrial fine dust. The institute's ongoing mission is to elevate the standard of testing and inspections across various environmental domains integral to both living and industrial ecosystems.
