“Level 3” CSMS Certification Demonstrates Company’s Capability
to Ensure Digital Safety of Its Innovative Mobility Solutions
SEOUL, Dec. 3, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) continues to bolster its cybersecurity capabilities in automotive technologies, reinforcing its position as a prominent tier-1 mobility solution supplier. The company recently earned Cybersecurity Management Systems (CSMS) certification at Level 3 from TÜV Rheinland, a global testing and certification agency. Recognized as the highest level of certification, this milestone reflects LG’s dedication to ensuring security throughout product development, manufacturing and real-world application.
The CSMS certification, which confirms compliance with the ISO/SAE 21434 standard and UN R155 regulation, is now a mandatory requirement for automakers in 56 markets. The certification involves comprehensive evaluations, including simulated cyberattacks designed to identify vulnerabilities in security measures and processes. LG’s advancement from Level 2 to Level 3 certification underscores its commitment to meeting increasingly strict cybersecurity criteria, achieved through rigorous testing of both its CSMS standard and manufactured products.
In line with industry best practices, LG adheres to the Automotive Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination framework, widely known as Automotive SPICE® (ASPICE). Developed by the Automotive Special Interest Group, which includes many well-known European automakers, ASPICE provides a systematic approach to evaluating and improving vehicle software development processes. LG has received recognition for its implementation of ASPICE for Cybersecurity, an extension of ASPICE that includes a number of additional cybersecurity assessments.
As the automotive industry transitions toward software-defined vehicles, LG remains at the forefront of addressing evolving cybersecurity challenges. In addition to obtaining globally recognized certifications including CSMS and adopting ASPICE framework, LG has strengthened its capabilities through strategic initiatives, such as the acquisition of Cybellum, an Israeli automotive cybersecurity company, in 2021.
“LG is at the forefront of employing cutting-edge security technologies and processes to deliver safer and more reliable solutions for automakers and end users,” said Eun Seok-hyun, president of LG Vehicle Solution Company. “We will continue to refine our security systems to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats targeting the mobility sector.”

Commercial Washers and Dryers Deliver Excellent Energy Efficiency
SEOUL, Nov. 7, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing its PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup at Texcare International 2024, a global B2B laundry and textile care exhibition, held in Frankfurt, Germany, from November 6-9. Prioritizing energy efficiency, the new lineup features a variety of large-capacity solutions, including 30-kilogram washers and dryers, as well as a washer-dryer combo with heat pump, offering a maximum capacity of 25 kilograms for washing and 16 kilograms for drying. With the launch of its PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup, LG aims to strengthen its position in the commercial laundry market, both in Europe and worldwide.
LG’s comprehensive range of large-capacity commercial washers and dryers provides several outstanding options for customers to choose from. The new PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup features 20-, 25- and 30-kilogram washers, as well as 25- and 30-kilogram dryers, along with a 25- kilogram washer-dryer combo. These solutions are equipped with LG’s advanced AI technology, which automatically adjusts water usage and washing/drying times based on load size, enabling a complete cycle in just 60 minutes.*
Along with energy efficiency, LG’s PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup boasts outstanding durability. The new washers feature the company’s Ball Balancing System, which supports a maximum spin speed of 1,100 RPM and enhances stability during high-speed washing cycles. The 25-kilogram washer-dryer combo stands out as one of the largest models in the heat pump combo category and is the industry’s first commercial combo to employ an inverter heat pump drying module. This proprietary technology significantly reduces drying times and boosts energy efficiency. Ideal for businesses with high laundry demands, such as hotels and care facilities, LG’s impressive heat pump combo represents a reliable, energy-efficient alternative to traditional gas and electric dryers.
LG’s commercial laundry solutions deliver further value with Proactive Customer Care, a smart service that actively monitors the machines’ operational data to identify potential issues before they arise. This service sends alerts to facility managers through the LG Laundry Crew app, allowing them to take preventive measures and avoid any service interruptions. In addition, the machines are equipped with features designed to safeguard performance, such as Tub Cleaning, which helps maintain hygienic conditions within the drum.
Since entering the global commercial laundry market in 2008, LG has consistently expanded its influence within the segment. Earlier this year, the company strengthened its partnership with WASH, a leading North American laundry service provider, to increase its presence in the growing U.S. and Canadian markets for laundry solutions in multi-family housing and university dormitories. LG also continues to showcase its innovations globally, with a successful appearance at the Clean Show 2022 in the U.S. and now at Texcare International 2024 in Germany.
With its new PROFESSIONAL lineup leading the way, LG plans to continue expanding its presence in Europe’s commercial laundry solutions sector. The company’s high-efficiency washer and dryer technologies will play a key role in helping commercial laundry operations lower their energy consumption.
“Building on our success in the residential washer and dryer market, we are now accelerating our efforts to lead the commercial laundry sector and are excited to launch our innovative, energy-efficient PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY lineup,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Texcare International 2024 is a notable opportunity to grow our commercial laundry business and strengthen our standing in the global market, particularly in Europe.”

The oven provides a total of 80 Auto Cook modes, and, with Gourmet AI, can identify the dish being cooked through its built-in camera, and automatically select the appropriate cooking mode from a database of 30 recipes. Making life in the kitchen that much easier, LG’s InstaView technology lets users check on their meal’s progress without even having to open the door, helping to preserve the temperature inside the oven and prevent energy waste.
Incorporating the company’s power-saving Inverter Direct Drive Motor, the new LG QuadWash dishwasher has an energy efficiency rating of A-20 percent.7 The dishwasher also enhances convenience with its Side Rack and 3rd Rack options, offering users the loading flexibility to accommodate a variety of different kitchenware.
