On November 30, 2022, the Ministry of Information and Communications issued Circular No. 24/2022/TT-BTTTT, introducing the “National Technical Standard for Electrical Safety in Telecommunication and Information Technology Terminal Equipment” – QCVN 132:2022/BTTTT, effective from January 1, 2024. However, the aftermath has spurred discussions and concerns within the ICT community.
Key Developments:
1. Post-Issuance Disputes:
– Some articles discuss the implementation of the new regulation, causing uncertainty among businesses importing ICT devices and manufacturers.
2. ISO/IEC 17025 Certification Recognition:
– Businesses express concern about the use of test results from both domestic and internationally recognized testing organizations, adhering to ISO/IEC 17025 standards specified in IEC 62368-1:2018. This practice is until the Ministry of Information and Communications issues further guidance.
3. Legal Document Prioritization:
– Referring to the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents in 2015, there is a suggestion to prioritize regulations from later legal documents.
NMC’s Exclusive Analysis:
– Addressing Ambiguity:
– Prioritizing later legal documents helps address ambiguity between Circular No. 24/2022/TT-BTTTT and Circular No. 30/2011/TT-BTTTT.
– Divergent Regulations:
– Both circulars, despite being issued by the same authority, do not regulate the same issue.
– Certification Process:
– Certification of conformity for products under QCVN 132:2022/BTTTT will follow the guidelines of Circular No. 30/2011/TT-BTTTT. This involves determining compliance with technical standards specified in Circular No. 24/2022/TT-BTTTT through testing at designated, acknowledged, or recognized units appointed by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
– Current Status:
– As of now, there is no announcement from the Ministry of Information and Communications to suspend Circular No. 24/2022/TT-BTTTT.
