It entered into force on May 24, 2026.
On April 9, 2026, the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology issued Circular No. 15/2026/TT-BKHCN, which sets out detailed rules on the development, appraisal, and promulgation of technical regulations in Vietnam, including national technical regulations (QCVN), issued by ministries and other central government bodies.
The Circular establishes the full procedural sequence for developing technical regulations:
  • Preparation and approval of annual and five-year development plans (Chapter II)
  • Drafting, stakeholder consultation, and appraisal by expert councils (Chapter III)
  • Formal layout and presentation requirements for technical regulations (Chapter IV)
  • Monitoring and oversight by the Ministry of Science and Technology, through the National Committee for Standards, Metrology and Quality, including scheduled and unscheduled inspections (Chapter V)
For companies and organisations subject to technical regulations, this Circular is relevant as a framework instrument prescribing the structure that all future Vietnamese technical regulations must follow. Article 9 specifies that technical regulations must include management provisions covering:
  • Conformity assessment methods and conformity declaration requirements
  • Labelling and traceability obligations, where applicable
  • HS codes at the eight-digit level for products within the scope of the technical regulation
These provisions are requirements on ministries drafting technical regulations, not direct obligations on companies under this Circular. Companies will be bound by such requirements when the individual technical regulations issued under this framework enter into force.
It replaces Circular No. 26/2019/TT-BKHCN and Circular No. 10/2023/TT-BKHCN. Projects to develop technical regulations already approved under the 2025 plan and under development at the time of entry into force may continue under the previous rules.
2026-05-25
It entered into force on April 29, 2026, with a validity until March 1, 2027, when new implementing legal documents are required to be issued to replace it.
On April 29, 2026, the Vietnamese Government issued Resolution No. 20/2026/NQ-CP, which decentralises, reduces, and simplifies administrative procedures and business conditions within the Ministry of Science and Technology's state management remit.
It amends procedures in two existing implementing decrees:
  • Under Decree No. 22/2026/NĐ-CP, administrative procedures for standards, metrology, and product quality management are decentralised under Appendix I, and registration and accreditation procedures for conformity assessment activities are simplified under Appendix II.
  • Under Decree No. 37/2026/NĐ-CP, procedures for designated conformity-assessment organisations are revised under Appendix II.
For manufacturers and importers, it results in:
  • Reduced steps and authority levels for registering declarations of conformity and obtaining recognition through accredited or designated conformity-assessment bodies.
  • Decentralised procedures under Appendix I apply from May 29, 2026, 30 days after the Resolution's entry into force.
  • Certain provisions relating to designated conformity-assessment organisation procedures applied from
  • January 23, 2026, simultaneously with the relevant provisions of Decree No. 37/2026/NĐ-CP.
This Resolution has a limite validity. It entered into force on April 29, 2026 and remains in effect until March 1, 2027, by when the new implementing legal documents are required to be issued to replace it.
2026-05-25
It entered into force on May 24, 2026.
On April 9, 2026, the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology issued Circular No. 16/2026/TT-BKHCN, which sets out detailed rules for the signing and implementation of mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) and unilateral recognition arrangements for conformity assessment results. It applies to competent state authorities and Vietnamese conformity assessment organisations involved in such arrangements. It repeals Circular No.
27/2007/TT-BKHCN with effect from its entry into force date. It applies to two categories of instruments:
  • Government-level MRAs between Vietnam and one or more foreign countries or territories, concluded in accordance with Vietnamese law on international treaties
  • Organisational-level mutual recognition agreements and unilateral recognition arrangements concluded between Vietnamese CABs and international, regional, national or territorial conformity assessment bodies
Unilateral recognition is defined as the recognition and acceptance by a Vietnamese authority or conformity assessment organisation of conformity assessment results from an international or foreign organisation, without relying on a mutual recognition agreement or arrangement (Article 3(3)).
The Circular outlines the process for government-level MRAs. The proposing ministry is responsible for establishing the legal basis and feasibility of an agreement, conducting consultations, and preparing a draft text.
Once an MRA is concluded, the proposing ministry must:
  • Select and designate participating CABs where required
  • Develop an implementation plan
  • Coordinate ongoing activity through a working group
  • Report annually and on an ad hoc basis to the Government and notify the Ministry of Science and Technology of progress
For ministry-level organisational agreements, a similar proposal, consultation and preparation process applies as for government-level MRAs.
For technical-organisation-level agreements, Vietnamese CABs may sign recognition arrangements within their accredited, designated or registered scope of activity, provided the arrangement complies with applicable law and serves national interests. The following conditions apply:
  • A CAB using conformity assessment results supplied by another organisation under such an arrangement must review the completeness and suitability of those results and remains fully responsible for its own conformity conclusions
  • A recognition arrangement does not substitute for a formal designation decision by a competent authority
  • CABs must notify the National Commission for Standards, Metrology and Quality, their direct managing authority, and relevant ministries of any agreement concluded
The Circular also addresses unilateral recognition, whereby a competent ministry may accept conformity assessment results from a foreign organisation without a reciprocal agreement. The decision must be based on criteria including:
  • The foreign organisation's accreditation status within international or regional MRA frameworks (such as GACI or APAC)
  • Applicable technical standards
  • The organisation's technical capacity and reliability
The ministry must issue a formal decision specifying the recognised organisation, scope, applicable standards, validity period, and responsibilities of the parties. Unilateral recognition may be suspended or cancelled where the recognised organisation no longer meets technical capacity requirements or shows signs of legal violations.
Agreements and arrangements signed before the Circular's promulgation may continue until their expiry date, if any, or until December 31, 2027.
Energy Efficiency
2026-05-25
The consultation period finished on May 27, 2026 and it has been submitted to WTO, with a notification deadline of June 15. The DPP registry is a requirement set by the EU ESPR regulation, which must also be implemented for batteries. Its adoption was initially planned for the first quarter of 2026.
On April 29, 2026 the EU Commission circulated a draft regulation in furtherance of its obligation under Article 13 of the regulation setting ecodesign requirements for sustainable products ('ESPR') to set up, by July 19, 2026, a Digital Product Passport registry ('the registry').
The Regulation will establish the operational framework for the registry which will store in a secure manner at least the unique identifiers for specific products under the ESPR. In addition, the registry will store the unique identifiers for batteries as referred to in Article 77(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 ('the batteries regulation').
Management of the registry will be the function of the EU Commission, which will ensure that the data stored in the registry are processed securely and in compliance with Union law.
Further data may be specified in the product-specific delegated acts adopted under the ESPR, which, in addition to being included in the digital product passport, are to be stored in the registry.
Essential provisions for economic operators
Per Article 4, before registering any products, an economic operator would be required to undergo an identity verification process to become a "verified economic operator".
Economic operators must upload the required data to the registry. The level at which products need to be registered (model, batch, or item) will be specified by the relevant product legislation. Once the data is uploaded, the registry will automatically issue a unique registration identifier (associated with the unique product identifiers uploaded in the registry for a specific product).
Having registered the product passport, the economic operator can generate a Proof of Registration which will serve as legal evidence for third parties (such as customs or retailers) that the registration obligation has been met.
Note: The economic operator will remain liable for data submitted even if a third party is authorised to register a digital product passport on their behalf.
Any user who becomes aware of, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, malicious behaviour in or against the registry would be obliged to immediately inform the Commission and the Member States concerned.
Where other Union legislation beyond the ESPR and the batteries regulation refers to the registry established by the ESPR, the arrangements laid down in this Regulation will apply.
2026-05-25
It will enter into force on August 17, 2026. It adopts 2 new mandatory Kuwaiti technical regulations: KWS 1902-1:2024 and KWS 1902-2:2024.

Telecommunications
2026-05-27
They entered into force April 15, 2026, and its application is mandatory from October 12, 2026. It affects secondary lithium accumulators for stationary applications operating under high and medium discharge intensities, suitable for installation with telecommunications equipment.
On April 15, 2026, the Brazil National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) released Act No. 5314 establishing the Technical Requirements and Testing Procedures for Conformity Assessment of Secondary Lithium Accumulators for Stationary Applications. The main impact is for anyone manufacturing, importing, or procuring stationary lithium batteries for telecom use in Brazil. It creates a structured, enforceable certification framework where none existed before, prioritizing safety and performance — but also adding cost and complexity for market participants.
Key Points:
  • Scope: Lithium batteries operating at 24V or 48V DC, in high and medium discharge regimes, installed alongside telecom equipment.
  • Minimum lifespan: Batteries must be rated for over 10 years of service life at 25°C in float mode.
  • Certification: Products must be homologated by ANATEL and carry the official ANATEL seal. The underlying battery cells must also be independently certified to Brazilian (ABNT) or international (IEC) standards before the full battery can be approved.
  • Testing: Seven groups of tests covering electrical performance (capacity, high/low temperature discharge, cycle durability, internal resistance) and safety (drop resistance, thermal runaway, overcharge/overcurrent/overheating control, ESD and surge immunity).
  • Smart communication: Every battery must have a BMS capable of communicating via MODBUS protocol, reporting real-time data including voltage, current, state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), temperatures, cycle count, and nine defined alarm conditions.
  • Family certification: Manufacturers can certify a product family under a single process, covering batteries of different capacities but sharing the same chemistry, BMS, topology, and cell format — reducing certification burden.
  • Renewal: Certificates must be renewed on a 3-year cycle (at years 3, 6, and 9), with a progressively rotating set of tests each cycle.
  • Disposal: Batteries must be labeled with disposal instructions and follow Brazil's National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12,305/2010) at end of life.
