INNOSPACE announced today that its Sejong headquarters and launch vehicle assembly and manufacturing facilities — Cheongju Campus and Sejong Campus — have simultaneously obtained ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management System) certifications.

The dual certification marks a significant milestone for INNOSPACE, affirming that the company’s efforts to strengthen its environmental, safety, and health management systems have been verified to global standards. It also confirms that the company has secured the essential foundation required for the sustainable operation of space launch services.

ISO 14001 establishes international criteria for managing environmental impacts across business operations, while ISO 45001 provides a framework for identifying and controlling occupational health and safety risks and preventing workplace incidents.

INNOSPACE has implemented a proactive management framework throughout the entire lifecycle of its launch vehicle development — from R&D and manufacturing to testing and operations. Key enhancements include advanced analysis and management of environmental impact factors, safety risk–based improvement activities, strengthened equipment and operational standards to minimize hazards, and enhanced emergency response procedures.

“The satellite launch service industry that relies on launch vehicles is one in which safety and environmental responsibility are critical factors that define a company’s competitiveness and long-term sustainability. These certifications demonstrate that INNOSPACE operates with a management system that meets international standards, and we will continue to strengthen ESG-driven responsible management across all processes, from space technology development to service delivery,” said Soojong Kim, Founder and CEO of INNOSPACE.

Earlier this year, INNOSPACE also became the first private Korean space launch vehicle company to receive AS9100 certification, the internationally recognized quality management standard for the aerospace, space, and defense sectors, as well as ISO 37301 certification for its compliance management system, thereby further reinforcing the company’s operational reliability and global credibility.
