TÜV Rheinland’s First ASIL D Product Certification in the Central Gateway System Category Validates LG’s Functional Safety Capabilities

News Summary

LG Electronics has earned its first ISO 26262 ASIL D product certification for its automotive central gateway system. It is also the first ASIL D product certification TÜV Rheinland has issued in this category.The certification builds on LG’s ISO 26262 process certification in 2017 and ASIL B product certification in 2021, demonstrating the company’s ability to meet the highest functional safety requirements at the product level.The independent validation is expected to strengthen automakers’ confidence in LG and enhance its competitiveness in future vehicle platform programs, as the company extends its expertise to next-generation communication control systems, gateways and domain controllers.

SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) has earned its first ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level D (ASIL D) product certification for its automotive central gateway system, developed as the central communication unit (CCU) 2.0 for the Genesis GV90. The certification, awarded by global testing and certification body TÜV Rheinland, is also the first ASIL D product certification the organization has issued in the automotive central gateway system category.*

Under ISO 26262, ASILs range from A to D based on the severity of potential harm, exposure to hazardous situations and controllability of the resulting risks. ASIL D, the highest level, requires the most stringent measures to prevent and mitigate safety-related failures. As part of the certification process, TÜV Rheinland comprehensively assessed LG’s development processes, design documentation and verification results, confirming the system’s compliance with applicable ASIL D requirements.

From Certified Processes to ASIL D-Certified Products

The certification is the latest step in LG’s efforts to advance its functional safety capabilities. The company obtained ISO 26262 process certification for its automotive development framework in 2017, followed by ASIL B product certification for its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) front camera module in 2021. Achieving ASIL D at the product level demonstrates LG’s ability to apply the highest functional safety requirements across the design, implementation and verification of an automotive product.

For global automakers, this independent, product-level validation offers further assurance of LG’s ability to deliver safety-critical automotive systems. It is also expected to enhance the company’s competitiveness in future vehicle platform programs.

Functional Safety Embedded in System Operations

LG’s central gateway system serves as the hub for vehicle communications, connecting electronic control units (ECUs) and managing data exchange across in-vehicle and external networks. When routing data over controller area network (CAN) and Ethernet interfaces, the system is designed to accurately transmit safety-related messages, detect routing malfunctions and relay relevant fault information to other ECUs.

The system also incorporates functional safety measures for over-the-air (OTA) software updates. These measures help prevent unintended updates and maintain safe control of vehicle start-up during updates and rollbacks. In addition, the system supports connected car services, features on demand and system diagnostics, along with cybersecurity functions such as intrusion monitoring and certificate-based authentication.

Strengthening Competitiveness for Future AIDV Platforms

As the automotive industry transitions toward AI-defined vehicles (AIDVs), central gateway systems are taking on a larger role. They manage communications across vehicle networks, enable OTA updates and support connected services, which makes functional safety increasingly critical.

The expertise LG gained through this project is applicable to other safety-critical automotive systems. That expertise spans functional safety development processes, design and verification methodologies, and certification. These capabilities lay the groundwork for LG to develop a broader range of automotive components, including next-generation communication control systems, gateways and domain controllers.

“Earning our first ASIL D product certification is a significant milestone for LG,” said Lee Sang-yong, head of the VS R&D Laboratory at the LG Vehicle Solution Company. “It reflects our progress from establishing certified functional safety processes to implementing and verifying the highest-level safety requirements in an automotive product. We will build on this accomplishment to strengthen automakers’ confidence in LG and advance next-generation solutions for the AIDV era.”

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
