Vietnam 越南

越南MIC發佈3項新的國家技術法規:

• QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT：關於在 5GHz 頻段運行的無線電接入設備的國家技術法規
• QCVN 123:2021/BTTT：關於短距離設備 (SRD) 的國家技術法規 – 用於 40 GHz 至 246 GHz 頻率範圍的無線電設備
• QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT：關於在 76 GHz 至 77 GHz 頻率範圍內工作的地面車輛雷達設備的國家技術法規

Recently, the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) of Vietnam has issued followed new standards.

1) QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT: National technical regulation on radio access equipment operating in the 5GHz band

– QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT has been issued together with Circular 11/2021/TT-BTTTT dated October 28, 2021

– QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT shall take effect from May 01, 2022 and enforced (replace QCVN 65:2013/BTTTT) from July 01, 2023.

– Transmit power limit will depend on if the product has “transmit power control” (TPC) function or not.

– QCVN 65:2021 has been composed based on EN 301 893 V2.1.1 (2017-05)

This time the Vietnam MIC has spent a long grace period for organization and individual to update test report and Type Approval certificate from QCVN 65:2013/BTTTT to QCVN 65:2021/BTTTT. Organization and individual can apply for QCVN 65:2021 on voluntary basis during the period from May 01, 2022 to July 01, 2023 for convenience and readiness.

Unfortunately, WiFi 6E (6GHz) is still not allowed yet.

2) QCVN 123:2021/BTTT: National technical regulation on Short Range Device (SRD) – Radio equipment to be used in the 40 GHz to 246 GHz frequency range

– QCVN 123:2021/BTTT has been issued together with Circular 10/2021/TT-BTTTT dated October 28, 2021.

– QCVN 123:2021/BTTT  shall take effect from July 01, 2022.

– QCVN 123:2021/BTTT has been composed based on EN 305 550-1 V1.2.1 (2014-10) for test method and EN 305 550-2 V1.2.1 (2014-10) for limits

– QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT: National technical regulation on Radar equipment operating in the frequency range 76 GHz to 77 GHz for ground-based vehicle

– QCVN 124:2021/BTTT has been issued together with Circular 09/2021/TT-BTTTT dated October 20, 2021.

– QCVN 124:2021/BTTT  shall take effect from July 01, 2022.

– QCVN 124:2021/BTTT has been composed based on EN 303 396 V1.1.1 (2016-12) for test method and EN 301 091-1 V2.1.1 (2017-01) for limits

Since the QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT only cover Vehicle radar 76 ~ 77 GHz within its scope, if the radar can be operated at a frequency range lager than 76 ~ 77 GHz (eg: 76 ~ 81 GHz), then applicable regulation as below:

1) Vehicle radar 76 ~ 77 GHz need to comply with QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT and EMC QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT.

2) Vehicle radar having operating frequency higher than 40GHz other than 76 ~ 77 GHz need to comply with QCVN 123:2021/BTTTT and EMC QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT.

3) If the vehicle radar operating frequency range is larger than 76 ~ 77GHz (eg: 76 ~ 81 GHz), then it must comply to QCVN 123:2021/BTTTT, QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT, QCVN 18:2014/BTTTT.

4) At the beginning stage, due to limited capability of Vietnamese lab, the MIC may accept equivalent CE standards issued by ISO/IEC 17025 accredited oversea labs to replace QCVN 123:2021/BTTTT and QCVN 124:2021/BTTTT

 

RoHS/REACH

EAEU 歐亞經濟聯盟

[法規草案] 2021 年 10 月 25 日，修訂 TR EAEU 037/2016 ”關於限制在電氣和電子設備中使用某些有害物質”的草案在 EAEU 網站上發布。技術法規規定了 EAC 認證、EAC 聲明或國家註冊期間產品安全的最低要求。該項目的公開討論時間為2021年11月19日至2022年1月21日。

重要變化:

1. 危險管控物質將從6項增加為10項

2. 廢物分類收集標誌必須貼在產品或包裝上，並在隨附的操作文件中註明。標誌的最小高度必須為 7 mm。

3. 電氣和電子設備的操作說明應補充具有約束力的訊息

對 EAEU TR 037/2016 的更改自歐亞經濟聯盟理事會決定正式公佈之日起 180 天後生效。

The technical regulation TR EAEU 037/2016 On restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment will be changed

On October 25, 2021, a draft to amend TR EAEU 037/2016 “On restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment” was published on the EAEU website. The Technical Regulation set minimum requirements for the safety of products during the EAC Certification, EAC Declaration or state registration. The public discussion of the project is planned for the period from November 19, 2021 to January 21, 2022.

The changes serve to clarify and specify the provisions of the set of rules with regard to the expansion of the area of application with regard to measuring devices, chemical power sources and exceptions in the area of application. With the new version of the technical regulation, the requirements for the nomenclature of hazardous substances and the limitation of their content in electrical and electronic equipment are updated.

An important addition will be the inclusion of requirements for the disposal of products that have lost their consumer properties due to physical wear and tear or obsolescence. This supplement was created on the basis of the European Directive 012/19 / EU (WEEE-2).

The list of dangerous substances, the content of which in electrical and radio electronic products exceeds the permissible concentration in homogeneous materials

The list in Appendix No. 2 is supplemented by 4 new standardized indicators of dangerous substances:

Diethylhexyl phthalate

Butyl benzyl phthalate

Dibutyl phthalate

Diisobutyl phthalate

The permissible value for all four indicators is no more than 0.1 percent by weight.

In addition, some items in the list of special requirements for limiting the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (Appendix No. 3) are amended and supplemented. For example, the lead content in steel, including galvanized steel, in an amount of no more than 0.35% may only be for 3 years from the date on which the changes in EAEU TR 037/2016 come into force. After that, the requirements of § 7 of the regulations must be met.

Requirements for the disposal of electrical and electronic products

A large number of new terms that are anchored in the draft amendment of TR EAEU 037/2016 relate specifically to the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment. The following terms are added: “Waste from electrical and electronic equipment”, “Labeling with symbol for separate waste collection”, “Best available technologies” (concerns the collection, storage, transport, processing, disposal, neutralization, placement, disposal of waste from in electrical and electronic equipment), “Recycling of waste from in electrical and electronic equipment”, “Extended producer responsibility”, “Handling of waste from electrical and electronic equipment”, “Symbol of separate waste collection” and “Authority in the area of administration of Waste from electrical and electronic equipment ”.

The label for separate waste collection must be affixed to the product or the packaging and indicated in the accompanying operating documents. The license plate must have a minimum height of 7 mm.

Operating instructions for electrical and electronic equipment should also be supplemented with binding information:

A product that has lost its functional properties should not be disposed of with unsorted solid household waste, but should be collected separately from other waste

Information on the possible harmful effects of hazardous substances contained in electrical and electronic equipment on human health and the state of the environment

A product should be recycled when it is not in use in order to avoid damage to the environment

A separate Appendix No. 4 will appear in the regulations on the requirements for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Compliance with the specified requirements for the disposal of products is checked within the framework of state supervision.

Changes to the EAEU TR 037/2016 come into force after 180 days from the date of the official publication of the decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Union.
