Safety' can be used in a variety of ways and may also have different meanings when used in theoretical field and routinely used. In this paper, the 'safety' means that human injury, fire or physical accident condition does not occur while used by the end-user. The meaning of safety may be different by era and culture. Even in contemporary era, the meaning can be used differently by country, region and culture. As the rights of consumers are increasingly reinforced, we can expect the acceptable risk or safety level can rise higher. In this paper, the R-map of Japan and the European risk assessment guidelines (RAPEX) were reviewed considering domestic incidents database status and its applicability. Because it is difficult to make a model based on a R-map, a revised model was developed mainly based on European Assessment Model with a combination of the important characteristics of Japan model R-map. Also utilizing this revised model, the availability as a new risk assessment model was confirmed by comparing the test results for the same scenarios to the other risk assessment model (RAPEX/RAG).

최근 가습기살균제 사건을 비롯하여 휴대폰, 유아용 기저귀 등 생활용품의 안전사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이러한 사고로부터 소비자를 보호하기 위해서는 제품 안전관리가 필요하며, 제품의 안전성 정도를 평가할 수 있는 제품 리스크 평가 도구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 한국소비자원의 제품 사고관련 위해정보를 바탕으로 제품 리스크를 평가할 수 있는 시스템인 RAS(Risk Assessment System)를 구축하였다. RAS는 사고관련 정보를 분석하는 위해정보 분석시스템과 이 시스템으로부터 도출된 정보를 활용하여 리스크를 평가하는 리스크 평가시스템으로 구성되어 있다. 리스크 평가과정에서 제품 리스크에 영향을 미치는 인과관계를 반영한 베이지안 네트워크 기반의 확률적 기법을 적용하였다. RAS를 사용하여 어린이 제품 33품목에 대해 평가를 실시했으며 EU RAPEX의 RAG의 평가결과와 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 본 연구의 RAS의 결과는 전반적으로 EU RAPEX RAG의 평가 결과에 비해 낮은 수준을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 추후과제로는 사고영향척도 입력값의 주관성 저감, 위해정보 분석시스템과 리스크 평가시스템의 연동 등을 들 수 있다.

This study is to investigate and compare domestic hazardous toys with harmful substances with foreign toys so that we can find out management criteria for in cognitive infants. Actually, commercially used toys have been collected and tested to find out more effective management standard. it is tried to produce evaluation criteria of environmentally harmful substance but variety of product is needed for overcoming actual barrier due to lot of difficulty huge cost, time, objectiveness. Therefore, This study does not cover all the above. Establishment of evaluation criteria for product harmfulness made by Government or Local government should be continued to improve. Foreign reference material for toy product in Europe, USA, Japan have been investigated and domestic product have been collected and tested for containing heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalate in the study. All the test have been made in accordance with KSM ISO 2124 to measure heavy metal transfer into body. Toy product used for the study have been purchased in the real market and some of them contains harmful elements with over standard. Post management system such as RAPEX to control periodically should be established for plastic toy with low quality product.

Purpose: The recent major recalls of hazardous products caused consumer product safety acts to be strengthen worldwide. Although the recall system of hazardous products in Korea has been operating based on Framework Act on Product Safety since 2011, the evaluation of product risk has been relied on not the results of objective incident data but the results of illegal product investigations. The purpose of this paper is to propose a product risk assessment model for Korea using injury data. Methods: The authors derived Korea's risk assessment method by analysing the advantages and disadvantages of the most widely used models in advanced countries such as EU's RAPEX RAG and Janpan's R-MAP. In this study, the level of relative frequency and severity of injury are determined based on the objective incident data and the length of hospitalization respectively. In addition, the injury data occurred during 2011 is applied to the proposed risk assessment model for case study. Results: The data analysed in this paper can be classified as high risk, medium risk, low risk, acceptable risk, and safe products through the matrix f rom the combination of the relative frequency and the severity derived. Conclusion: The proposed risk assessment model in this study has advantage obtaining reliable objective results because it uses actual injury data and redeems the drawbacks of the existing models used in advanced countries. Furthermore, because the proposed model shows the high risk products among many, it is expected to be useful especially for customs whose main job is inspecting the imported goods and the government when selecting the target product groups for safety investigation.
