(1) Reasons for Proposal

The Environmental Testing and Inspection Act was amended (Act no. 15200; enforced on December 13, 2017) to prescribe grounds to punish any measuring agency business condemned as non-compliant with accuracy management, and prescribe matters cocerning notification on the fact of contracts concluded by measuring agency businesses. Accordingly, this Amendment prescribes matters delegated by the Act, including criteria for administrative dispositions and the form used for contract notifications, and addresses a number of weaknesses that have emerged from the operation process.

(2) Major Provisions

A. Allow mayors of large cities to handle matters concerning measuring agency business registrations, change registrations, revocations of registration, education of technical human resources, etc. (Article 14, Article 15, Article 16, Article 26, Article 27, Article 28)

B. Prescribe criteria for administrative dispositions against measuring agency businesses determined to be non-compliant with accuracy management (attached Table 10)

C. Prescribe a form for measuring agency business contract notifications (attached Form 21-4)
