TISI New AV Standard Will Come into Force,
TISI,

▍Vietnam MIC Certification

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)

There is no definition on Mid-large size of electrochemistry energy storage station yet (If dear readers have found any evidence of existence of the definition, please kindly inform us), therefore it is still blurry. But from our understanding, electrochemistry energy storage system will be defined as mid-large scale energy station, therefore we can draw the conclusion that ternary lithium-ion batteries are banned in energy storage station.
Few years ago there are discussions that those decommission traction batteries may be taken usage in energy storage system, and many companies worked on researching and testing. However, since echelon usage batteries are listed as not applicable materials, the reuse of traction batteries in energy storage system may be inconsiderable.
Equipment room shall set up anti-explosion ventilation system. There should be at least one air out let for each end, and air exhausting per minute shall no less than the volume of equipment rooms. Air inlets and outlets shall be set up appropriately, and airflow short circuit is not allowed. Airflow system should always in operation.
