Hanwha Aerospace has ceased nonessential domestic production to conduct comprehensive safety audits following a lethal explosion at its Daejeon facility.

韓華航太在大田廠發生致命爆炸後，已停止非必要國內生產，以進行全面的安全稽核。

The cessation of operations across nine domestic sites represents an unprecedented systemic shutdown since the 2023 organizational integration of Hanwha Defense and Hanwha Corp’s defense division. This administrative action encompasses propellant and explosive charge facilities in Daejeon, Boeun, and Yeosu, as well as production plants in Changwon and various R&D campuses. The scope of the internal review involves a retrospective analysis of corrective measures implemented over the preceding triennium, with a specific emphasis on the mitigation of fire and explosion hazards.

九個國內據點全面停業，代表自 2023 年韓華防衛與韓華集團防衛部門組織整合以來，首次出現如此前所未有的系統性停工。此次行政行動涵蓋大田、寶恩與麗水的推進劑及爆炸藥設施，以及昌原的生產廠與各研發校區。內部審查範圍涉及對過去三年實施的糾正措施進行回溯分析，特別強調降低火災與爆炸風險。

Concurrent with internal audits, a joint operation by South Korean police and labor authorities has commenced, involving the seizure of materials from the Seoul headquarters, the Daejeon plant, and associated research facilities. This regulatory intervention seeks to establish the precise causality of the incident and verify adherence to statutory safety protocols. The investigation is focused on Building No. 56, where monthly throughput of volatile solvents and propellants reached approximately 8.2 and 36 metric tons, respectively, during the latter half of the previous year.

與內部稽核同步，韓國警方與勞工當局已展開聯合行動，對首爾總部、大田廠及相關研究設施進行扣押資料。此次監管干預旨在確定事故的準確因果關係，並核實是否遵守法定安全協定。調查重點為 56 號大樓，在去年下半年，該處揮發性溶劑與推進劑的每月吞吐量分別達到約 8.2 噸與 36 噸。

Technical data indicates the presence of 1,2-dichloroethylene, toluene, and aluminum powder at the site. The volatility of these substances, particularly when accumulated in enclosed spaces or combined with propellant residue, presents a significant risk of ignition via static electricity or sparks. In response to these vulnerabilities, Hanwha Aerospace is evaluating the implementation of uncrewed automation systems for the handling of propellants. Furthermore, the safety audit has been extended to petrochemical affiliates, including Hanwha Solutions and Hanwha TotalEnergies, with a completion deadline of June 10.

技術數據顯示現場存在 1,2-二氯乙烯、甲苯與鋁粉。這些物質的揮發性，特別是在封閉空間積聚或與推進劑殘留物結合時，存在顯著的靜電或火花點火風險。針對這些漏洞，韓華航太正評估針對推進劑處理導入無人自動化系統。此外，安全稽核已擴展至石化關係企業，包括韓華解決方案（Hanwha Solutions）與韓華 TotalEnergies，完成期限為 6 月 10 日。

Hanwha Aerospace remains under regulatory scrutiny while executing a wide-scale safety overhaul across its defense and petrochemical divisions.

韓華航太在執行防衛與石化部門大規模安全改革的同時，仍持續接受監管審查。
