□ Contents of research and main results
1. Survey of self-quality inspection-like rules of foreign countries and international organizations
○ A review was made on the self-quality inspection-like rules of foreign countries including US, Japan, China and EU for the management of food safety. It was found that the countries do not have such a rule as self-quality inspection rule of ours. However, each country has different rules and systems to ensure the safety of foods. Most countries realize that the quick response to food-related incidents is difficult, and therefore they make corrections and supplementations to their current rules and systems for food safety. Also as a result for screening all the policies related to self-quality inspection rules in international organizations, most of other countries are managing the quality of food by the rule ISO9001 which is enacted by international Organization for Standardization(ISO).
2. Proposal of measures for improvement of standards of self-quality inspection rules and safety management of foods
1) Survey of current situation of self-quality inspection rules
-The self-quality inspection rules has been initiated in 1986 based on Korea Food Code and has been revised 14 times since. The revision has been found that the efforts have focused on the easement of the standards of the rules. It is our conclusion that self-quality inspection rules and HACCP need to coexist to ensure food safety in this country.
2) Survey of percentage of self- and consignment- test and analysis of test expenses
-The proportion of the manufacturers who are operating in-house personnels test is 20%(4700 of 22700), and 80% of them are operating the test by consignment. Only some large scale manufacturers are operating self-quality inspection system, and most of the self-quality inspection systems are operated by consignment.
-The self-quality inspection can be performed by test either by in-house personnels and by consignment. In case of large scale manufacturers that perform the tests by in-house personnels it is not possible to figure out the percentage of consignment because the large manufacturers do not disclose their in-house test statistics. The test fees of out-of-house test institutions for each sample are about 310,000 won for candies and 24,000 won for dressings. The fees were much different depending different food items, 13-fold difference between the highest for candies and the lowest for dressings. Depending on test categories, the test fee for total aflatoxins was highest to be 111,400 won for each sample, and that for total acid was lowest to be 11,300 won for each sample, showing about 10-fold difference.
