In July 2020, the new national technical code QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT came into effect as MIC approved Circular No.15/2020/TT-BTTTT.
This sets the requirements for lithium batteries used in portable equipment such as mobile phones, tablets and laptop PCs.
It was implemented based on IEC 61960-3:2017 and the national standard TCVN 11919-2:2017 (IEC 62133-2:2017). However, with its own provisions, meeting the requirements of IEC 61960-3:2017 is not enough to comply with the new regulations.
Regulation QCVN 101:2020/BTTTT is effective from July 1, 2021, and until now, QCVN 101:2016/BTTTT is valid.
This regulation includes minimum technical requirements to help manage and evaluate the quality of lithium batteries in portable devices, including removable lithium batteries, or lithium batteries embedded in mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
This regulation applies to lithium battery products and products that fall under the HS code below.
