▍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)

The proposal No.5080 at the fourth session of the 13th National Committee of the CPPCC proposes to unify the charger ports of electronic intelligent products in order to reduce e-waste and promote carbon neutralization.
The MIIT has made a reply to this proposal: With the rapid iteration of charging/data ports and charging technology, the current intelligent terminal market has formed a pattern which is dominated by USB-C interface and a variety of ports and charging technology coexist.
As the proposal says, the most of original chargers and USB cables will be put aside and cause a big waste after users change their devices. Giving great impetus to charging ports and technique fusion can reduce e-waste and improve the rate of resource utilization.
The reply of MIIC indicates to promote the unification of charging ports and technique fusion, and improve recovery rate of resource, which also means that charging ports will be approved. In the meantime, the recovery processing of electronic products will be enhanced, and the recovery rate of electronic products like abandoned charges will also be improved.
On January 17th 2022, the ECHA declared that four substances would be put in SVHC list (list of candidate substances). The list of SVHC has included 233 kinds of substances.
Of the four new substances added, one is used in cosmetics and found to have feature of interfering with the hormones in the body. Two of these are used in substances such as rubber, lubricants and sealants and can negatively affect human fertility. The fourth substance is used in lubricants and greases and is persistent, biocumulative, toxic (PBT) and harmful to the environment.
