Coway (CEO Jang-won Seo) announced on the 9th that all mattress products sold by its sleep and healing care brand ‘BEREX’ have passed the safety test for radioactive substances such as radon and uranium.
This radioactive material safety test was conducted by KOTITI Testing & Research Institute, an accredited testing institute of the Korea Accreditation Organization (KOLAS) under the National Agency for Technology and Standards, and confirmed that it satisfies the legal standards of the Ministry of Environment, the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
KOTITI Testing & Research Institute is a precision analysis institute in the field of radioactivity testing accredited by the Korea Accreditation Organization (KOLAS Accreditation Institute) under the National Agency for Technology and Standards and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. It measures and measures radioactive substances that may be contained in the manufacturing process of everyday products. Analyze.
As a result of this test, all 18 models currently on sale, including ‘Beerex Smart Mattress S8+’ and ‘Beerex Signature Mattress’, passed with less than the radioactive material standard. The product was tested through detailed testing using a gamma nuclide analyzer (HPGe), and was tested not only for radon, but also for uranium-238 (U-238) series, thorium-238 (Th-238) series, potassium-40 (K-40), and i. The safety of detection of odin, cesium, etc. was also tested.
Coway also strictly operates its own safety evaluation tests. Using professional measuring equipment approved by the Ministry of Environment, we analyze radon and thoron emissions from mattress products, materials, and parts in a sealed chamber and manage them below the standard. In addition, safety against gamma ray emissions in addition to radon is secured through a portable radiation measuring device.
A Coway official said, “We plan to conduct radioactive material testing and evaluation through an external analysis agency for all frame models so that consumers can use the Virex mattress with peace of mind.”
He continued, “We are strengthening reliability through not only our own testing but also detailed verification by a nationally certified testing agency so that you can use the Virex mattress without worrying about radioactive substances such as radon.” He added, “We have a safety management system that extends from the mattress to the entire frame product.” “We will do our best to improve quality competitiveness and maximize customer satisfaction,” he added.
