Electronics Earns First Asil D Product Certification For Automotive Central Gateway System

LG Electronics has earned its first ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level D (ASIL D) product certification for an automotive central gateway system, specifically the central communication unit (CCU) 2.0 for the Genesis GV90. TÜV Rheinland awarded the certification, and LG says it is the first ASIL D product certification TÜV has issued in this central gateway category. The approval follows LG’s earlier functional safety groundwork: ISO 26262 process certification in 2017 and an ASIL B product certification in 2021 for an ADAS front camera module. Under ISO 26262, ASIL levels run from A to D, with ASIL D requiring the most stringent measures. TÜV Rheinland assessed LG’s development processes, design documentation and verification results for compliance. LG frames the step as strengthening automakers’ confidence as it expands into next-generation communications control systems, gateways and domain controllers.
