Hyundai Motor Group's Four Companies Simultaneously Obtain ISO International Standard Certification in Open Source Compliance

Hyundai Motor, Kia, Hyundai Mobis, and Hyundai AutoEver Join Forces

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Four companies within Hyundai Motor Group have been internationally recognized for establishing a systematic management system for utilizing open source.

Hyundai Motor Group announced on the 17th that through the collaboration of four group companies forming the automotive supply chain?Hyundai Motor Company, Kia, Hyundai Mobis, and Hyundai AutoEver?it has obtained the open source compliance standard certification (ISO/IEC 5230) from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

When using open source during software development, there are advantages such as shortened development time and cost reduction; however, issues like copyright disputes and security vulnerabilities may arise, making systematic management of open source utilization important. Open source compliance refers to the regulations that companies or individual developers must follow to minimize potential problems when using open source.

The international standard certification for open source compliance by Hyundai Motor Group is notable for being simultaneously acquired through cooperation among the four companies involved in software development, parts packaging, and mass production. With this, Hyundai Motor Group has secured credibility for open source across the entire automotive supply chain for the first time in the industry.

The ISO/IEC 5230, the only international standard related to open source compliance adopted by ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), evaluates certification eligibility by reviewing ▲the adequacy of open source policies and process establishment ▲the establishment of compliance systems ▲and developer education and evaluation standards.

Through systematic management of open source, Hyundai Motor Group supports users in preventing copyright disputes and security vulnerabilities in advance, while simultaneously gaining international recognition for its management system and support level.

Hyundai Motor Group’s open source compliance system will be provided in the form of a comprehensive portal by the end of this month. Additionally, it will strengthen support for open source utilization by providing user guides to developers who wish to use it, and will continue to promote the expansion of the open source ecosystem and win-win cooperation measures in the future.

Kim Yong-hwa, Vice President of Hyundai Motor and Kia R&D Headquarters, stated, “As the importance of open source in the future mobility sector continues to grow, we will take the lead in expanding and developing the open source ecosystem across the entire automotive industry supply chain beyond the group.”
