Vietnam updated standard QCVN 55: 2023/BTTTT, coming into force on July 1,2024.

The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) of Vietnam has issued a new standard for Short Range Devices (SRDs) radio equipment operating in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 25 MHz.The newly released standard, QCVN 55:2023/BTTT, supersedes the prior QCVN 55:2011/BTTT and will become effective from July 1, 2024.

Henceforth, the TAC and testing report with QCVN 55:2011/BTTT version will be invalid after July 1, 2024. So far, there is no local lab that can perform testing of this new standard.

We will continue to monitor and provide you with the latest information.

Vietnam MIC published new circular to temporarliysuspend applications of some requirements of Circular No. 04/2023/TT-BTTTT

Vietnam Authority Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) published Circular No. 10/2023/TT-BTTTT dated Sep 5, 2023to temporarily suspend some requirements of Circular No. 04/2023/TT-BTTTT. This Circular will come into effect on Sep 5, 2023but it also applies to TAC, DoCand AQI applications processed from July 15, 2023.

Based on current Circular, below requirements are temporarily suspended:

For above mentioned products, which have a obtained a type approval certificate (TAC) according to Circular No. 04/2023/TT-BTTTT (with conformity to the suspended technical requirements) during the suspension period of this Circular, the TAC is still valid until its expiry date.

For above mentioned products, which have been approved in forms of TAC, DoCand AQI to during the suspension period, if the production or import of the products continues after the suspension period, the products must be approved with conformity to the suspended technical requirements or must be approved again according to the full technical regulations. In case of additional TAC, its validity is equal to the remaining validity of the TAC that was already issued.

Vietnam updated the list of products requiring TAC & DoC, which will come into effect on July 15th, 2023.

Vietnam Authority Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) recently published Circular No. 04/2023/TT-BTTTT dated May 31, 2023about the list of products requiring Type Approval Certificate (TAC) and/or Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

This Circular will come into effect on July 15, 2023to replace Circular No. 02/2022/TT-BTTTT. Compared to the previous Circular, several changes were made:

1.The national technical standard QCVN18 was updated to QCVN 18:2022.

2.Some HS codes were updated.

3.Added new safety requirements of QCVN 132:2022 for many types of products such as Desktop PC, laptop/tablet/TV from January 1st, 2024.

4.The description of some product type was updated:

-Appendix I, item 2.3 “Broadband data transmission equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz band with an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) between 60 mWand 200 mW”. Previously it was “from 60 mWor upwards”.

-Appendix II, item 4.4 “Wireless charging device”. Previously, it was “Inductive loop device”.

Vietnam Authority Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) published Circular No. 02/2022/TT-BTTTT about the list of products requiring Type Approval Certificate (TAC) and/or Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

This Circular is to replace Circular No. 01/2021 /TT-BTTTT and it will come into effect on July 1, 2022.

Compared to previous Circular, several changes were made:

1. MIC has updated new national technical standards (QCVN) to the list including:

(1) QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT (for RLAN operates in 5 GHz band)

(2) QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT (for Radar operates in 76GHz ~ 77GHz )

(3) QCVN 123:2021/BTTTT (for operates in 40~246GHz SRD)

(4) QCVN 128:2021/BTTTT (for 5G mobile communication base station)

(5) QCVN 127:2021/BTTTT (for independent 5G mobile communication network terminal device)

(6) QCVN 129:2021/BTTTT (for hybrid 5G mobile communication network terminal device)

(7) QCVN 22:2021/BTTTT (for Electrical safety for terminals connection to telecommunications and information technology networks

2. For QCVN 123:2021/BTTTT, QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT and some other testing standards, MIC also issued guidance to accept test reports issued by foreign test labs with accreditation of ISO/IEC 17025 for certification or AQI applications.

3. For product with RLAN in 5GHz, since the enforcement date of the updated test standard QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT is July 1, 2023, during the transit period, the client still can choose to apply to QCVN 65: 2013 or QCVN 65: 2021.

4. Below products are moved from the list of products requiring both Type Approval certificate and AQI to the list of products requiring AQI only:

(1) Vehicle radar equipment operates in 76 GHz to 77 GHz band

(2) Some general-purpose short-range transmitters and transceivers operating in specific frequency bands: (a)13.553-13,567 MHz, (b)5725-5850 MHz, (c)24-24.25 GHz, (d)61.0-61.5GHz etc.

(3) RFID radio identification device operating in the band 13.56 MHz

Vietnam updated the list of products requiring TAC & DoC: Circular No. 01/2021/TT-BTTTT

Vietnam Authority Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) published Circular No. 01/2021/TT-BTTTT about the list of products requiring Type Approval Certificate (TAC) and/or Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

Please note that imported products (manufactured overseas) don’t require DoC. TAC and test report against required standards are sufficient for Acknowledgment of Quality inspection of imported goods (AQI).

This Circular is to replace Circular No. 11/2020 / TT-BTTTT and it will come into effect on July 1, 2021.

Compared to the previous Circular, several changes were made:

1. MIC has updated new national technical standards (QCVN) to the list including:

(1) QCVN 54:2020/BTTTT (for WLAN / BT / Zigbee operates in 2.4GHz band) 

(2) QCVN 74:2020/BTTTT (for 1GHz ~ 40GHz SRD) 

(3) QCVN 117:2020/BTTTT (for land mobile terminals and mobile phones)

(4) QCVN 122:2020/BTTTT (for LPWAN products and sensors)

(5) QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT (for lithium batteries used for mobile phone, tablet, laptops)

2. LPWAN was considered as SRD before. Now MIC created a new section especially for LPWAN 920MHz ~ 923MHz and LPWAN 433MHz. 

3. All test results and TAC issued according to QCVN 54:2011/BTTTT, QCVN 74:2013/BTTTT, QCVN 101:2016/ BTTTT will need to re-certify according to new standards from July 1, 2021.
