As we mentioned in our March Blog, new MIC regulations are now in effect. As of July 1, 2019, these new standards must be met to issue a Declaration of Conformity by VNTA. There are already reports of Type Approval certificates granted for LTE devices that met the old standard QCVN 47:2015/BTTTT that have become invalid.
Importers and manufacturers must comply with QCVN 117:2018/BTTTT testing to prevent delays in importing and distribution.
For ITE and MME devices, including desktop PC, notebook / laptop PC, tablet PC, server, router and gateways, the new technical standard required is QCVN 118:2018/BTTTT. Manufacturers need to submit EMC reports according to CISPR 32:2015 or new Vietnamese standard QCVN 118:2018/BTTTT issued by local test laboratories or oversea test laboratories which are recognized by MIC Vietnam for QCVN 118:2018/BTTTT under MRA.
