Certification Update: Vietnam's MIC has entered an adjustment period
Starting from December 6, 2024, Vietnam officially issued Document No. 141/KH-BC DTKNQ18, in accordance with Resolution 18-NQ/TW, fully initiating the reorganization of government institutions.
The merger of the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) is underway and is expected to have a profound impact on the national regulatory system for ICT products.
Integration of Vietnamese government departments: The merger of MIC and MOST is underway
According to official documents, the MIC and MOST plans are integrated as:
"Department of Technology and Digital Transformation" or "Department of Technology, Digital Transformation and Communications" (MST The purpose of the adjustment of this institution is to streamline its structure and enhance governance efficiency. Currently, the merger work is being gradually advanced, and the relevant management responsibilities are also being handed over step by step.
The certification policy is undergoing changes, and the following points are particularly crucial:
1. Current scope of application
Vietnam still envies regulations on lithium batteries in consumer electronics such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops➡ QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT (Safety Regulations Requirements)
2. Trend of Change
As the merger is gradually implemented, the original ICT logo of MIC will cease to be used.
Radio, telecommunications and IT products may continue to use the CR conformity mark.
This means that the future certification paths and marking systems may undergo reconstruction and integration. Enterprises should understand this as early as possible and deploy compliance strategies in advance.
