Executive summary

Set the decision process before choosing a technology

The report compares public policy documents, Korean and international standards, and fire cases. It points to a gap: when a local government reviews fire detection technology, the supplier's performance claims alone are not enough to decide.

The report does not recommend any specific technology. It proposes that, before adoption, the buyer defines the detection target, alert time, false alarms, test conditions and operating duty. Existing equipment and new proposals are then judged by the same criteria.

Decision questions

Five questions before adoption

  1. 01

    What does it detect?

    Define the target first: flame, smoke or temperature.

  2. 02

    How fast does it alert?

    Look at detection, decision, notice and arrival on site as separate times.

  3. 03

    How often is it wrong?

    Set the false-alarm limit and the checking steps for a false alarm together.

  4. 04

    How far has it been tested?

    State the test conditions, such as night, rain, fog, backlight and seasonal change.

  5. 05

    Who runs it?

    Confirm who receives alerts, who inspects and updates, and whether this can continue.

Method

What we checked, and how

  • · A keyword check of the full 16 pages of the Korea Heritage Service key work plan
  • · A cross-check of Korea Heritage Service press releases and budget materials with fire cases in Korea and abroad
  • · A comparison of what technical standards such as NFSC 203, EN 54-10 and LPS 1976 cover
  • · A sensitivity calculation of computing throughput across every hypothetical combination of conditions we set

Limits

What this report does not prove

Site inspection and tests of real product performance

Cost-benefit and the payback period of an investment

Which product or manufacturer is better

Independent checks of the accuracy and false-alarm rates in public benchmarks

Whether the findings apply to other regions

Approval of legal, procurement or privacy compliance

The simulation in Chapter 7 checks hypotheses to help design real measurements. It does not show field performance or a chance of success.

Evidence trail

Selected official sources

This is the minimum list of sources linked to the key claims. It is not the full list of a systematic literature review.
