This draft National Technical Regulation of Vietnam establishes the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements that mobile telecommunications terminal equipment and auxiliary equipment used in such systems must meet.

It covers second, third, fourth, and fifth generation technologies: GSM, UMTS (W-CDMA FDD), LTE, and 5G NR.

Emissions directly associated with the antenna port or the equipment enclosure are excluded from this regulation and are regulated by separate, specific standards. The regulation applies to all organizations, companies, and individuals that produce, import, market, or use this equipment within Vietnam.

WHOM DOES IT IMPACT?

The direct impact is on manufacturers and importers of mobile terminals and CPE, laboratories and certification bodies, distributors and customs brokers, mobile operators, and end users.

CONCLUSION:

The draft establishes a single, enforceable framework for EMC for mobile terminals in Vietnam, aligned with international standards, which raises the barriers to compliance while providing regulatory certainty and quality of service.
