LG Electronics has been recognized for its capability to identify harmful sterilization substances to the human body from the product development and production stages.

TÜV Rheinland, a global testing and certification organization, conducted rigorous evaluation of test environments, testing methods, professional personnel, and detection equipment, and accredited LG Electronics as an accredited testing laboratory, confirming that LG Electronics can accurately analyze sterilization substances harmful to the human body.

Through this accreditation, LG Electronics has demonstrated its ability to detect and analyze 13 types of substances harmful to the human body, including OIT (octylisothiazolinone), CMIT (chloromethylisothiazolinone), and MIT (methylisothiazolinone), from the product development and production stages.

Previously, LG Electronics was recognized by TÜV Rheinland in 2006 for its analytical capability regarding six major hazardous substances (RoHS) including lead and mercury, and was designated as the first accredited testing laboratory in Korea.

With this accreditation as an accredited testing laboratory, LG Electronics will be able to consistently provide safe products to customers, and expects increased customer confidence in LG Electronics products.
Yoon Kyung-seok, Senior Executive Director of LG Electronics Quality Center, emphasized, "This accreditation has demonstrated that LG Electronics possesses world-class capability in analyzing substances harmful to the human body," and added, "We will continue our efforts for customer health and safety."
