Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has introduced QCVN 134:2024/BTTTT, a new regulation on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) that applies to various handheld electronic products, including mobile phones (4G & 5G), DECT phones, laptops, portable computers, and tablets.

This regulation will affect type approval, market access, imports, customs, and compliance requirements for these devices. The implementation timeline includes the start of testing, certification, and SAR compliance declarations on February 15, 2025. By July 1, 2026, all terrestrial mobile phones must meet the SAR compliance before entering the market, and by July 1, 2027, full compliance will be required for all products covered by the regulation to be legally sold in Vietnam.
