SK hynix says its LPDDR5X memory and development process have obtained IEC 61508 SIL 3 industrial functional safety certification, extending its credentials beyond automotive applications to robotics and smart factories. It also received certification of its cybersecurity management system based on ISO/SAE 21434 following assessments by SGS-TÜV Saar.

The memory was designed and validated for continuous safety operation, relevant to real-time robotics control. The cybersecurity assessment covered procedures including threat response, design validation and vulnerability management across development and mass production. SK hynix says that certification meets requirements for supplying automotive memory to mobility customers that must establish a cybersecurity management system; expansion into additional platforms remains planned.
