In investigating and preventing the re-occurrence of civil air incidents and accidents, the Executive Yuan of the Republic of China (R.O.C.) has established an independent government agency - Aviation Safety Council (ASC) to perform such duties. Based on the R.O.C's Civil Aviation Law, articles 84 and 87, the birth of ASC was officially declared in May 25, 1998 as an independent council, reporting directly to the Premier's office.

ASC shall perform its duties by making findings as to the causes and contributing factors through rigorous and systematic air accidents investigations, and shall accordingly propose safety recommendations. The sole objective of the accident investigations is to improve Taiwan's aviation safety, instead of apportion blames or responsibilities, which is in full compliance with the spirits of ICAO Annex 13.

ASC consists of up to seven (7) Board members, including a Chairman, whom are all appointed by the Premier. Regular meeting takes place once a month, and additional ones can be called upon by the Chairman when deems necessary. The main structure of ASC comprises Occurrence Investigation Division, Flight Safety Division, Investigation Laboratory, and Legal & Administrative Division. Managing Director is assigned by the Chairman, and takes the full responsibility for the office operations.
