Shortly after Samsung posted official results of its Galaxy Note 7 investigation, blaming the battery defects, independent Korean regulators have also conducted their own investigation. The good thing is that they reached a pretty similar conclusion.

The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, a government-run laboratory in South Korea, also confirmed that the Galaxy Note 7 fires were caused by battery defects and not due to hardware design flaws or software issues.

South Korea also added that it will strengthen lithium-ion battery safety requirements and conduct regular inspections to avoid something like that from repeating.
