Vietnam CR mark certification

CR mark certification is a mandatory certification system that ensures the quality, stability, and hygiene of all products in Vietnam. The Vietnam CR mark certification is regulated by the Vietnam Directorate for Standards, Metrology and Quality (STAMEQ), under the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST). The certification process involves testing your product samples against the relevant Vietnamese National Technical Regulations (QCVN) for safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and registering your products with the MOST.

Technical Aspects of Vietnam CR Mark Certification

The technical aspects of Vietnam CR mark certification include the following:

• Safety and EMC testing: Your products must undergo safety and EMC testing at a laboratory designated or recognized by the MOST. The safety and EMC testing must follow the requirements of QCVN 4:2009/BKHCN + A1:2016 (Safety for household appliances and electric cables), QCVN 9:2012/BKHCN + A1:2018 (EMC for household appliances) and QCVN 19:2019/BKHCN (EMC and Safety for LED lamps). These standards are mainly based on international standards without any modification.

• Market surveillance: Your products must comply with the market surveillance regulations in Vietnam, which aim to monitor and control the quality and safety of products in the market. The market surveillance authorities may conduct inspections, sampling, testing, or verification of your products at any time. You must cooperate with the market surveillance authorities and provide them with the necessary information and documents.

• Factory inspection: Depending on your product category and risk level, you may need to undergo a factory inspection by the MOST or its designated body. The factory inspection aims to verify your quality management system, production process, and product conformity. You must prepare your factory premises, equipment, personnel, records, and samples for the inspection.

• Sample testing: You must provide representative samples of your products for testing at the designated or recognized laboratory. The number and size of samples depend on your product category and testing method. You must ensure that your samples are properly packed, labeled, transported, and stored.

• Validity: The Vietnam CR mark certification is valid for three years from the date of issuance. You must renew your certification before it expires. You must also inform the MOST of any changes in your product design, specifications, components, materials, or production process that may affect the conformity of your products.
