On June 15, 2026, the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology released a draft notice containing a mandatory list of products classified by risk level, which must obtain type approval certification and/or a Declaration of Safety Conformity (SDoC). This draft will replace Notification No. 29/2025/TT-BKHCN and Decision No. 2711/QD-BKHCN. The main changes include:

• Some products, including WWAN technology, can be considered small to medium-risk products, requiring only SDoC and allowing voluntary type approval applications;
• If products on the small and medium-risk product list are integrated with high-risk products, high-risk technical testing is required, but only SDoC is required;
• When high-risk products undergo type approval certification under Scheme 3, the explanation about using ISO 9001:2015 certificates to replace factory inspection and supervision requirements has been removed.
