Nemko & Korean Standards Association (KSA) hosted Korea’s first AI Trust Mark and AI+ certification ceremony in Seoul. The event was attended by Nemko Group CEO Per Ove Oyberg, along with key executives from Nemko Korea, the Korea Standards Association (KSA), and Samsung Electronics, marking a significant milestone in global AI certification collaboration.

Samsung Electronics’ HRM Remote Support Service was officially recognized as meeting the requirements of both the Nemko AI Trust Mark and KSA AI+ certification.The service uses AI to diagnose appliance conditions, detect anomalies, and provide users with recommended actions. Its certification confirms that the system meets international standards not only in performance, but also in reliability, transparency, and governance.

A notable aspect of this ceremony is that it represents the first official joint certification conducted by Nemko and KSA in Korea.This achievement demonstrates that Korea’s AI certification framework can be directly aligned with Nemko’s global certification standards—an important foundation that strengthens Nemko’s leadership in the AI reliability certification market across the Asia region.

The Nemko AI Trust Mark, in particular, is drawing attention for its ability to:

– Evaluate global AI reliability requirements, and

– Support alignment with EU AI Act–related criteria.

These features position the certification as a key tool that helps Korean companies proactively respond to evolving global regulatory landscapes.

This historic first certification in Korea reinforces Nemko’s position as a leading global institution in AI standardization, reliability, and accountability.In addition, it strongly supports Nemko’s long-term strategy in Korea and the broader Asia region, including:

– Expansion of global certification cooperation,

– Strengthening of services related to EU AI Act preparedness, and

– Deepening collaboration with multinational companies.

Nemko and KSA shared during the event that“this certification marks a significant milestone in applying Nemko’s global AI certification framework within the Korean market”and emphasized their commitment to supporting companies in demonstrating trustworthy AI capabilities within an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

A critical contributor to this success was the coordinating and bridging role of Nemko Korea.

Nemko Korea:

– Built an operational collaboration framework enabling close alignment between Nemko’s global certification system and KSA’s domestic certification processes, and

– Planned and coordinated joint seminars, workshops, and technical exchange programs between the two organizations.

These efforts established the practical foundation for cooperation and enabled this certification to become more than just a “first case”—it served as a key enabler for establishing Nemko’s global certification framework firmly within the Korean market.

Looking ahead, Nemko will continue expanding cooperation with KSA and other certification bodies worldwide. Through the further global deployment of the AI Trust Mark, Nemko aims to support companies in strengthening AI reliability, meeting international regulatory demands, and advancing into global markets.
