The agreement between the two companies marks the first time in
the industry that an automotive LED component manufacturer has
partnered with a globally-recognized testing and certification
company to test the quality, performance and reliability of
automotive LED components. Automotive LED component manufacturers
are generally required to submit in-house testing results to supply
their products to OEMs.
With TÜV SÜD’s world-class verification processes, Samsung will
be able to offer an exceptionally high degree of validation and
technical assurance for its automotive LED customers.
Through the program, Samsung’s automotive LED components will be
tested with TÜV SÜD based on AEC-Q102, the international standard
for automotive components, as well as additional relevant safety
tests adopted by Samsung and TÜV SÜD. When a component passes a
jointly administered test, the final report will include a
certificate with TÜV SÜD’s double octagon mark*.
“We hold in high esteem Samsung Electronics’ efforts to further
test and validate the quality and reliability of their automotive
LED products. We hope that this partnership inspires the whole
automotive components industry and contributes to a new level of
product safety and quality industrywide,” said Stefan Rentsch,
president and CEO of TÜV SÜD Korea.
“In taking a major step forward to further demonstrate product
excellence, we believe that TÜV SÜD’s validation of the quality,
safety and reliability of our automotive LEDs will provide another
very important barometer to the superiority of Samsung LEDs,” said
Sung-Kwan Lim, vice president of the LED Quality Team at Samsung
Electronics. “We will continue to redefine the upper echelon of
quality in automotive LED components and tirelessly work to offer
the highest level of assurance to global automotive component
suppliers considering our component solutions.”
In July 2017, Samsung Electronics’ LED testing laboratory was
awarded an Acceptance of Client’s Testing certificate by TÜV SÜD in
recognition of the quality and reliability of Samsung’s automotive
LED component testing processes.
Editors’ Note: The double octagon mark is a voluntary
certification mark applied to Samsung’s automotive LED modules and
packages. The mark shows that the products being manufactured or
sold are fulfilling relevant quality and safety requirements.
