Through this certification, LG Electronics will be able to independently analyze and evaluate the software safety requirements and functional design assessments of various newly developed smart appliances based on international standard regulations (IEC 60730-1, IEC 60335-1) testing.

LG Electronics continues efforts to enhance its business portfolio by integrating software capabilities across all business areas. In June last year, LG Electronics' SW Certification Testing Lab was also certified by T?V Rheinland as a designated testing body for automotive software functional safety. Additionally, it has continuously increased its credibility in software quality by obtaining accredited testing qualifications from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) for automotive software functional safety, electrical and electronic product software functional safety, and quality measurement testing.

Park In-seong, Executive Vice President and Head of the Software Center at LG Electronics' CTO division, said, "We will continue various activities to enhance software quality and credibility, contributing to strengthening the software competitiveness of LG Electronics' products and services."
