Overview
- TÜV Rheinland awarded ISO 26262 ASIL D product certification to LG’s central gateway control unit (CCU 2.0), which is fitted in the Genesis GV90, marking the highest product-level safety rating for that component.
- ASIL D is the top safety level under ISO 26262 and requires the most stringent design, verification and fault-mitigation measures to prevent dangerous failures in vehicle electrical systems.
- LG’s central gateway routes messages between electronic control units, transmits safety-critical signals for functions such as braking and steering, and includes protections for over-the-air software updates to prevent unsafe rollouts.
- TÜV’s assessment reviewed LG’s development processes, design documentation and verification evidence and — noting this is the first ASIL D award it has given in the gateway category — validated the product rather than just company processes.
- LG says it will use the independent certification to boost automaker confidence, compete for higher-tier platform programs and apply the same safety know-how to domain controllers and other systems that shape OTA, connectivity and AI-defined vehicle features.
