The ICT Mark plays a crucial role in Vietnam as a certification program that ensures the quality and compliance of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products. Regulated by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), this certification is mandatory for manufacturers and importers who wish to enter the Vietnamese market. It signifies the commitment to meet the country’s standards and regulations, assuring consumers of reliable and trustworthy ICT products.
Regulations of MIC Vietnam on Vietnam ICT Mark
To access the Vietnamese market, manufacturers and importers of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products must comply with the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) regulations. This involves undergoing ICT testing and approval and being registered with the MIC. The testing is conducted in designated local or recognized laboratories in partner countries, as listed on the MIC Vietnam website.
To be eligible for the ICT mark and to be sold in Vietnam, products must meet the EMC, Safety, and Radio requirements specified in circular 11/2020/TT-BTTTT, which outlines the Vietnamese National Technical Regulations. The circular provides a comprehensive list of ICT product categories and the applicable standards and HS codes for each category. While most Vietnamese ICT standards are based on international standards, the MIC specifies the permitted operation frequencies and transmit power levels.
Two groups of products require ICT approval: those subject to certification and those subject to “Declaration of Conformity.” VIS can assist you in obtaining ICT approval in the shortest possible time by leveraging our designated EMC laboratories, our expertise, and our established relationships with local designated laboratories and certification bodies.
