Circular 42/2016/TT-BTTTT stipulated that batteries installed in mobile phones, tablets and notebooks are not allowed to be exported to Vietnam unless  they are subjected to DoC certifctaion since Oct.1,2016. DoC will also be required to provide when applying Type Approval for end products (mobile phones, tablets and notebooks).

MIC released new Circular 04/2018/TT-BTTTT in May,2018 which stipulates that no more IEC 62133:2012 report issued by overseas accredited laboratory is accepted in July 1, 2018. Local test is necessity while applying for ADoC certificate.

▍Testing Standard

QCVN101：2016/BTTTT（refer to IEC 62133：2012)

▍PQIR

The Vietnamese government issued a new decree No. 74/2018 / ND-CP on May 15, 2018 to stipulate that two types of products imported into Vietnam are subject to PQIR (Product Quality Inspection Registration) application when being imported to Vietnam.

Based on this law, the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) of Vietnam issued the official document 2305/BTTTT-CVT on July 1, 2018, stipulating that the products under its control (including batteries) must be applied for PQIR when being imported into Vietnam. SDoC shall be submitted to complete the customs clearance process. The official date of entry into force of this regulation is August 10, 2018. PQIR is applicable to a single import to Vietnam, that is, every time an importer imports goods, he shall apply for PQIR (batch inspection) + SDoC.

However, for importers who are urgent to import goods without SDOC, VNTA will temporarily verify PQIR and facilitate customs clearance. But importers need to submit SDoC to VNTA to complete the entire customs clearance process within 15 working days after customs clearance. (VNTA will no longer issue the previous ADOC which is only applicable to Vietnam Local Manufacturers)

Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a U.S. government agency that protects the American
public from products that may present safety hazards. This independent regulatory body focuses on
consumer items that pose an unreasonable risk of fire, chemical exposure, electrical malfunction, or
mechanical failure. Products that expose children to danger and injury are a particularly high priority for
the CSPC. In addition to investigating complaints from consumers concerning unsafe products, this
group also issues recalls of products that may be defective or that violate mandatory standards.
From July 29, 2019, CPSC began to work closely with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
identify and inspect imported consumer goods shipments (For products defined by certain HTS codes
listed below, such as children’s toys, batteries), and participated in One U.S. Government Notification
Messaging at Import (1 USG NM), in order to better assist the customs in reviewing compliant products,
CPSC updates its coordination process every year. On March 22 this year, it has adjusted its review time
and conditions in its updated review plan which allows for faster review by CPSC of low ‐ risk shipments at the port, however the premise is that the applicant must provide the estimated time of arrival
EDA in advance and the entry records like CPSC compliance or non-compliance record data in
advance (≥3 days) of EDA.
