ExtendMax's exclusive insights
1) The Circular 24/2022/TT-BTTTT has specified "Clause 21, Article 1 of Circular No. 18/2010/TT-BTTTT dated July 30, 2010 of the Minister of Information and Communications promulgating the national technical regulation on telecommunications has expired from the date of Circular No. this comes into force." which means the QCVN 20:2010/BTTTT shall be invalid from effective date of the Circular 24/2022/TT-BTTTT (01st January 2024)
2) At this moment, pursuant to DECT phone is subjected to item 2.1 of Appendix 1 of the MIC Circular 02/2022/TT-BTTTT (still taking effect), DECT phone is subjected to both QCVN 22:2010/BTTTT and QCVN 22:2021/BTTTT at the same time. QCVN 22:2021/BTTTT is composed based on IEC 62949:2017 but the IEC 62949:2017 is not applicable to the DECT phone in other countries so there is possibility that MIC will move the DECT phone from QCVN 22:2021/BTTTT scope to QCVN 132:2022/BTTTT scope permanently.
3) The MIC temporary accept test report issued by oversea and local ISO/IEC 17025 accredited test laboratories according to IEC 62368-1:2018, with corresponding technical requirements, for conformity assessment according to the QCVN 132:2022/BTTTT. It meanse the IEC 62368-1:2018 must listed all applicable test cases of the QCVN 132:2022/BTTTT still in order to be accepted by the VNTA. Accordingly, applicants and importers must submit ISO/IEC 17025 certificate of test lab which is still valid, together with Type Approval and/or Declaration of Conformity application
