This draft national technical regulation specifies mandatory technical requirements, test methods and sample specifications for fire prevention, firefighting and rescue equipment. The draft applies to equipment manufactured, assembled, imported, traded and used in Viet Nam (Section 1.1) — unlike the previously notified draft (G/TBT/N/VNM/400), imported equipment is now within the mandatory scope of this regulation. The draft sets out a conformity assessment mechanism — certification of conformity, declaration of conformity, and post-market surveillance — for equipment classified as medium- or high-risk under the list issued by the Ministry of Public Security, replacing the circulation permit mechanism under the previously notified draft. It further sets out requirements on sampling, testing, labelling and traceability. This draft applies to: (1) organizations and individuals manufacturing, assembling, importing, trading in and using the equipment; (2) conformity assessment bodies; (3) competent state management authorities. The first draft of QCVN 03:2026/BCA was notified under G/TBT/N/VNM/400 (23 April 2026). This notification concerns the second draft, which has been substantially revised — reducing the equipment covered from 85 types/865 technical criteria to 57 types/483 technical criteria, and replacing the circulation-permit management mechanism with conformity assessment, information declaration and post-market surveillance.
