In the event of a product accident, etc. (defect, malfunction, accident involving a similar product), we will actively collect information from customers, manufacturers, importers, repair/installation companies, etc. and internally share it, while promptly providing necessary information to customers, manufacturers, importers, repair/installation companies, etc. This will prevent the spread of damage, and contribute to preventing the recurrence of accidents and investigating causes.

In the event that a product that we have provided is found to be potentially hazardous to our customers, with the highest priority on ensuring customer safety, we will actively cooperate with manufacturers and importers to take prompt and accurate measures, such as recalls (product recalls), and voluntarily report it to relevant government agencies, if necessary, to prevent the occurrence and spread of accidents.

We will actively disseminate and raise awareness of how to use our products safely in order to prevent the occurrence of accidents and the spread of damage resulting from misuse.

We will establish a risk management system to ensure product safety, and enhance our organizational structure and employee training system to enable us to respond promptly and accurately to internal and external information concerning product safety. We will also maintain and improve our internal systems, including regular internal monitoring.

To ensure that these basic policies are executed by all employees, we will set out “Give First Priority to Customer” and “Ensure Product Safety” in the Basic Management Policy, and strive to ensure product safety management and compliance.
