ETRI Recertification of ISO/IEC 5230

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute of South Korea (ETRI) has announced recertification of their ISO/IEC 5230 conformant program. Learn about their original ISO/IEC 5230 conformance on our previous blog post.

ETRI is a global information and communication technology (ICT) research institute under the Ministry of Science and ICT. It has led the growth of the information and communication industry in Korea for 45 years. The research institute is working to realize the concept of ‘Korea, an AI powerhouse’ with a vision of “a national intelligence research institute that creates a future society.” ETRI has been conducting open source verification as a software quality management since 2008, and established the Open Source Center as an enterprise-wide organization to support open source R&D activities, governance and compliance in 2017.

“We are delighted to have ETRI underscore their commitment to our standardization approach and the development of a more trusted open source supply chain,” says Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager. “We will continue to work together in Korea and beyond to help educate, inform and inspire others in our field.”
