[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LG Electronics has secured expertise and credibility to analyze and evaluate antiviral performance.

On the 15th, LG Electronics announced that the Material Analysis Accredited Lab under the Quality Management Center recently received antiviral testing laboratory certification from the global testing and certification organization TUV Rheinland.

The certifications obtained this time include ‘ISO 21702,’ which evaluates antiviral performance on plastics, and ‘ISO 18184,’ which evaluates antiviral performance on textile products such as air purifier filters.

With this certification, LG Electronics can independently evaluate the antiviral performance of plastics and textiles used in hygiene management home appliances such as dryers, stylers, air purifiers, and dishwashers according to international standard regulations. In addition, it can reduce evaluation time and costs compared to using external certification organizations.

LG Electronics explained that as the number of customers pursuing a healthy life increases, it has been continuously securing the capability to independently verify hygiene quality in the microbial field by expanding the certification scope of the Material Analysis Accredited Lab from antibacterial and antifungal last year to antiviral this year.

Kim Jong-pil, Executive Vice President and Head of LG Electronics Quality Management Center, said, “Based on the certified testing laboratory we directly own, we will further enhance the hygiene quality of our products so that customers can trust and use LG Electronics products.”
