Organized as part of the 2018 National Safety Diagnosis campaign, the purpose of the vice minister’s visit was to see the progress of the development of fire safety technology.

 

Mr. Son was given briefings on fire safety technology development such as full-scale fire tests and fire resistance tests and encouraged the research team.
