AB - National Fire Safety Code (NFSC) is a fundamental standard for planning, construction, maintenance, and operation of firefighting facilities. However, the current NFSC in South Korea is limited in maintaining its professional standards due to the lack of a permanent, specialized and independent agency and suffers from structural inflexibility caused by the notification-based system. It also lacks flexibility, collectivity, openness, and periodicity. This study examines the legal and operational status and problems of NFSC, along with the cases and examples from domestic agencies in charge of similar technical standards, and suggest policy measures on the need for the establishment of the 'National Fire Safety Code Center' as well as its efficient operation as follows. First, the 'National Fire Safety Code Center' that studies, develops, improves and manages the codes in a routine basis should be established to enact and revise detailed technical standards and take exclusive responsibility for performance evaluation. Second, the current NFSC should be split into two standards: legal performance standards and technical standards. Third, while legal performance standards remain as status quo, technical standards should adopt an advanced code system for efficient operations.
