On July 9, 2020, Vietnam MIC issued the official Circular No. 15/2020/TT-BTTTT, which officially released the national technical regulations for lithium batteries used in handheld devices for mobile phones, tablets and laptops - QCVN 101: 2020 / BTTTT. This Circular shall take effect from July 1, 2021, and it mainly emphasizes the following matters:
- The QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT is composed based on IEC 61960-3:2017 and TCVN 11919-2:2017 (IEC 62133-2:2017). But at present, MIC will still follow the previous practices and only require safety compliance instead of performance compliance.
- The QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT safety compliance adds shock test and vibration test.
- QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT shall replace QCVN 101:2016/BTTTT after July 1, 2021. At that time, if all products previously tested according to QCVN101:2016/BTTTT are to be exported to Vietnam for sale, relevant manufacturers are required to re-test the products according to QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT in advance to obtain new standard test reports.
