LG Electronics SW Certified Test Laboratory Acquires Designation as Authorized Testing Body for European Wireless Device Cybersecurity
Published2026.08.11 10:07
Conducting In-House Certification Testing Without Overseas Prototype Shipment
LG Electronics announced on the 11th that its SW Certified Test Laboratory under the CTO has obtained designation as an authorized testing body for cybersecurity regulations under the European Radio Equipment Directive from TÜV Rheinland, a global certification body.
TÜV Rheinland reviews LG Electronics' in-house test results without conducting separate testing and then issues a certification certificate.
The certification award ceremony was held on the 10th at TÜV Rheinland Korea's headquarters.
The European Radio Equipment Directive is a regulation that requires high-level security and safety technology to be applied to wireless communication products distributed within Europe.
Since last year, requirements have been strengthened to include protective measures related to network protection, personal information protection, and financial fraud prevention.
LG Electronics explained that with this qualification, it is expected to be able to more rapidly reflect the diverse demands of customers in B2B fields such as automotive and air conditioning.
Since acquiring the qualification as an international certified testing body in the software field from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) in 2019, the first among domestic manufacturers, LG Electronics' SW Certified Test Laboratory has expanded its response areas to include appliance functional safety, automotive functional safety, and IoT cybersecurity.
Currently, it is also pursuing acquisition of certification qualification for the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) scheduled for implementation in Europe in 2027.
EU CRA applies to all products containing digital elements regardless of whether wireless communication is supported.
Regarding product security systems, the company stated that through 'LG Shield,' it is implementing cybersecurity vulnerability response and patch provision throughout the entire product lifecycle from development through post-launch, as well as applying quantum-resistant cryptography.
Kim Dong-wook, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics' SW Center, stated, "Based on software competitiveness proven globally, we will rapidly provide customers with safer and more reliable products and services."

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
