Adjust the effective date of Circular 21 on the implementation of technical regulation conformity announcement and labeling for garment products before being sold on the Vietnamese market.

In implementing the directive of the Prime Minister to protect the health and interests of Vietnamese consumers, the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued Circular No. 21/2017 / TT-BCT promulgating the National Technical Regulation on gender The content of formaldehyde and aromatic amines converted from azo dyes in textile products (QCVN: 01/2017 / BCT). Circular No. 21/2017 / TT-BCT is effective from 01/05/2018.

However, due to objective and subjective reasons, during the implementation of Circular 21, especially near the time of effect, the Ministry of Industry and Trade received many suggestions of enterprises on difficulties in implementation. Especially for products that have been circulated on the market. To overcome these difficulties, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has issued Circular No. 07/2018 / TT-BCT amending Circular 21 to January 1, 2019. As of January 1, 2019, All textile and garment products subject to Circular 21 shall be subject to regulation conformity.

Enterprises can refer to Circular 21, Circular 07, QCVN: 01/2017 / BCT and in particular GUIDANCE ON QCVN 01 implementation at the following links:
