SHERIDAN, WYOMING - November 28, 2025 - Beyless, a Seoul-based mobility software technology company, has secured Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) Capability Level 2 (CL2) certification for its vehicle system software, underscoring its readiness to meet the stringent quality expectations of global automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers.
ASPICE CL2 as a Quality Benchmark for Automotive Software
ASPICE CL2 is an international process assessment model that validates whether software development is carried out in a systematic and consistent way across the entire lifecycle. For automotive OEMs and Tier-1s, ASPICE has effectively become a de-facto prerequisite for collaboration, especially in complex domains such as in-vehicle infotainment and connected mobility platforms.
For Beyless, achieving CL2 confirms that the company has moved beyond ad-hoc development practices to a structured, repeatable approach. The certification covers key lifecycle elements, including development planning, requirements management, design validation, testing and verification-areas that are increasingly scrutinised in supplier audits and sourcing decisions.
Full V-Cycle Coverage Sets a New Benchmark in Korea
Beyless highlights that the achievement is particularly significant because it demonstrates objective quality assurance early in the development phases, even under strict evaluation and review conditions. The company reports that it has achieved full coverage of design, evaluation and validation activities across the V-cycle, from CL2 SYS 1-5 through to SWE 1-6-claimed as a first in Korea.
This means that system-level and software-level processes are consistently applied from initial concept through implementation and integration, giving OEM partners greater confidence that infotainment and other vehicle software components will behave predictably in production programmes.
Fifteen Process Areas, ALM-Driven Assessment
With the CL2 certification, Beyless has met all ASPICE assessment criteria across 15 process areas, including management (MAN), system (SYS), software engineering (SWE) and support (SUP). This confirms that the company has established a robust, repeatable software development process that goes far beyond simply implementing functional features.
Notably, the CL2 assessment was not performed through traditional, document-centric reviews alone. Instead, Beyless relied on an infrastructure integrated into an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) system. This ALM-based approach provides traceability from requirements through design, implementation, testing and defect resolution, strengthening the company's position as a partner able to sustain long-term quality in serial production programmes.
CEO: Certification as a Global Mobility Software Milestone
For Beyless leadership, the ASPICE CL2 milestone is a strategic signal to the global Automotive & Mobility market. Hyung-Jun Kim, CEO von Beyless, erklärte: „Diese Zertifizierung ist ein wichtiger Meilenstein, der unsere Fähigkeiten als weltweit führender Anbieter von Mobilitätssoftware unter Beweis stellt. Durch diese Errungenschaft werden wir die Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit unserer Infotainment-Systeme weiter verbessern und die Zusammenarbeit mit globalen OEMs und Tier-1-Partnern ausbauen."
He links the certification directly to the company's roadmap for deeper collaboration with international customers in infotainment and vehicle systems domains. Er fügte hinzu: „Die ASPICE CL2-Zertifizierung unterstreicht das Engagement von Beyless für Qualitätsinnovation und die Einhaltung internationaler Standards. In Zukunft werden wir Zertifizierungen auf Serienproduktionsniveau und höhere Leistungsstufen, einschließlich CL3 und darüber hinaus, anstreben, um unsere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit auf dem globalen Markt weiter zu stärken."
Implications for OEMs, Tier-1s and the Korean Software Ecosystem
For global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers evaluating partners in South Korea and the wider Asia-Pacific region, Beyless' ASPICE CL2 status signals a supplier capable of aligning with international quality expectations. It also illustrates how Korean mobility software providers are investing in process maturity to compete not only on innovation and feature richness, but also on lifecycle discipline and auditability.
In practical terms, the certification should help reduce integration risk for in-vehicle infotainment and other software-intensive systems, shorten qualification cycles and support smoother collaboration across globally distributed engineering teams. As Beyless pursues CL3 and higher levels, the company is positioning itself as a long-term partner for software-defined vehicle programmes that depend on stable, repeatable and verifiable development practices.
