Hyundai AutoEver Becomes First Korean Company Accredited as "Vehicle Functional Safety" Inspection Agency

Hyundai AutoEver announced on September 30 that it has become the first private company in South Korea to be designated as an accredited inspection agency in the field of "road vehicle functional safety." Until now, inspections to determine whether accidents can be prevented due to vehicle malfunctions or failures have mostly been outsourced to overseas agencies, but going forward, companies in Korea will be able to receive inspection results domestically.

Accredited inspection agencies are certified by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS), which operates under the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The inspection results of accredited agencies are officially recognized within Korea.

With this designation, Hyundai AutoEver can now inspect whether its clients are able to prevent accidents caused by malfunctions or failures in vehicle electrical and electronic systems. The company will evaluate 18 detailed indicators, including software (SW) development, hardware (HW) development, and systems.

Hyundai AutoEver plans to conduct functional safety inspection projects for its own vehicle software as well as for client companies. Through this, the company aims to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the vehicle software development process. In addition, Hyundai AutoEver will accept inspection requests from automakers, auto parts manufacturers, vehicle software companies, and electronics firms, providing precise inspection services.

Previously, Hyundai AutoEver advanced its functional safety inspection capabilities starting in August 2023, and after about two years, was designated as an accredited inspection agency by KOLAS. Moving forward, Hyundai AutoEver plans to expand the range of detailed inspection indicators to further strengthen its expertise.

Ryu Seokmoon, Executive Vice President and Head of the SW Platform Business Division at Hyundai AutoEver, stated, "Based on the establishment of a robust vehicle functional safety inspection system, we will provide highly reliable verification services to our clients."
