Vietnam ICT Mark Certification
The ICT Mark is a mandatory certification system in Vietnam, governed by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), designed to ensure the quality, safety, and regulatory compliance of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products. This certification is required for both importers and manufacturers seeking to market ICT products in Vietnam. The ICT Mark reflects a product’s adherence to Vietnamese technical standards and offers assurance to consumers of its reliability and compliance.
Regulatory Framework
The ICT certification is outlined under Circular 11/2020/TT-BTTTT, which specifies Vietnamese National Technical Regulations (QCVN) relating to Safety, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and Radio Frequency (RF) compliance. These technical standards are based largely on international norms but include specific Vietnamese requirements, such as allowable transmission frequencies and output power limits.
Two approval pathways exist:
- Mandatory Type Approval Certification
- Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
VIS offers expert support in both pathways, leveraging our designated EMC laboratories, experience, and local partnerships to help you meet all compliance obligations swiftly and smoothly.
