The Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) of Vietnam issued Circular No. 22/2022/TT-BTTTT together with QCVN 18:2022/BTTTT “National technical regulation on electromagnetic compatibility for radio communication equipment electricity”.
The QCVN 18:2022/BTTTT has been developed on top of ETSI EN 301 489-1 V2.2.2 standard, which includes EMC electromagnetic compatibility requirements for emission and immunity (radiation) as well as immunity criteria applicable to radio communication equipment.
MIC notifies that QCVN 18:2022/BTTTT applications will be voluntary from May 1, 2023 to July 1, 2023. However, they recommend to start using the provisions of QCVN 18:2022/BTTTT before it becomes mandatory. Additionally, MIC informs that products from the List of Group 2 within the conformity assessment procedure require application of QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT up to July 1, 2023. Currently, Circular 02/2022/TT-BTTTT stipulates the List of Group 2 goods (the list of products of radio equipment, transceivers, and information technology equipment subject to regulation conformity certification and announcement) of MIC and contains Appendix I and Appendix II.
Please, note that if your product has been certified against QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT requirements, the re-certification is not required after July 1, 2023 but re-testing against QCVN 18:2022/BTTTT is be mandatory as well as the declaration of conformity according to the new version.
QCVN 18: 2022/BTTTT will apply to the following list of products:
