- Outline of demonstration: In response to an application for the storage of explosives outside the ammunition storage, in the on-site investigation in which the inspector confirms that measures are taken to ensure the safe storage of explosives, the inspector verifies whether it is possible to confirm the image taken by the applicant in real time from a remote location using a non-permanent camera, etc., without visiting the site, and to determine that the image conforms to the content of the application.
Instead of a general-purpose web conference system, technologies and mechanisms (applications) unique to the selected operator will be utilized to organize the Issue along with the possibility of a field survey in the form of a web conference. Since confidentiality is required depending on the storage location and stored items, it will also be demonstrated whether a remote survey is possible after appropriate security measure is provided. - Subject work (law): On-site inspection pertaining to Article 59-35 and Article 62 of the Detailed Regulations for Enforcement of the Explosives Control Act
