[Vietnam] Decree 37/2026/ND-CP: overview of 8 chapters, 99 articles, 7 appendices and 16 forms

Decree 37/2026/ND-CP dated January 23, 2026 of the Government detailing a number of articles and measures to organize and guide the implementation of the Law on Product and Goods Quality is a document that replaces the foundational role of Decree 132/2008/ND-CP and decrees amending and supplementing it. The document includes 8 chapters, 99 articles, 7 appendices and 16 forms, with three major changes: moving from group 1 and group 2 classification to management according to three levels of risk, putting all regulations on labeling of goods into a separate chapter, and adding a legal framework for digital data, electronic labels and digital passports of products.

This article presents the document structure, seven key new points compared to Decree 132/2008/ND-CP, three technical pillars including risk management, goods labeling and conformity assessment, along with the effective roadmap and timelines that businesses need to include in their compliance plans. The full text of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP is posted at the original Vietnamese article, so that readers can look up any chapter or article. The Vietnamese text is the version that applies.

Why Decree 37/2026/ND-CP is called the “backbone” decree

In Vietnam’s legal system on product and goods quality, for nearly two decades, the “backbone” role has belonged to Decree 132/2008/ND-CP and decrees amending and supplementing it. Decree 37/2026/ND-CP dated January 23, 2026 of the Government replaces that role. Three characteristics make this document worthy of being called a foundational decree.

First, the adjustment range is wide. Article 1 clearly states that the Decree regulates in detail 13 articles of the Law on Product and Goods Quality No. 05/2007/QH12, which has been amended and supplemented by Law No. 78/2025/QH15, and also sets out measures to organize and guide the implementation of the Law on many groups of content: tracing the origin of products and goods; codes, barcodes; Financial mechanism for testing costs and certification of standard and regulation conformity in the support program; order and procedures for inspection, exemption, reduction of inspection and handling during the quality inspection of imported goods with medium-risk level and high-risk level; order and procedures for inspecting and handling violations of the quality of goods circulating on the market.

Second, the range of substitutions is wide. According to Article 97, Clause 2, from July 1, 2026, a series of fundamental documents will expire, including Decree 132/2008/ND-CP and Article 2 of Decree 67/2009/ND-CP, Decree 74/2018/ND-CP, Article 4 of Decree 154/2018/ND-CP and Decree 154/2018/ND-CP. 13/2022/ND-CP. More notably, according to Article 97, Clause 4, Decree 43/2017/ND-CP on goods labels and Decree 111/2021/ND-CP amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree 43/2017/ND-CP expire from the effective date of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP. In other words, the entire legal foundation on goods labeling is transferred to Chapter IV of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP with five technical appendices.

Third, change management methods. Decree 132/2008/ND-CP and its amended documents operate by classifying products and goods into groups 1 and 2 and then attaching each group to a set of management measures. Decree 37/2026/ND-CP moves to management by risk level with three groups: low risk, medium-risk and high-risk, in which the risk level is quantified using the formula in Appendix VI. This is a technical change, but the legal consequences are huge, because all national technical regulations, all lists of imported goods that must be inspected and all obligations to declare conformity in the near future must rely on the results of risk classification.

This article analyzes the structure and key new points of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP, and includes the full text at the end of the article for easy reference by chapter and article.

Structure of the document: 8 chapters – 99 articles – 7 appendices – 16 forms

The document is divided into 8 chapters, 99 articles, with 7 technical appendices and 16 forms. The table below summarizes the scope of each chapter.

Chapter	Chapter name	Article range	Number of articles
I	General provisions	Article 1 – 6	6
II	Development of national quality infrastructure	Article 7 – 17	11
III	Applying technology in product and goods quality management	Article 18 – 34	17
IV	Labeling of goods	Article 35 – 55	21
V	National Quality Award	Article 56 – 65	10
VI	State management of product and goods quality	Article 66 – 92	27
VII	Responsibility for state management of product and goods quality	Article 93 – 96	4
VIII	Implementing provisions	Article 97 – 99	3

The two chapters with the largest volume are Chapter VI with 27 articles and Chapter IV with 21 articles. These are also the two chapters that most directly impact production, import and business activities: one side regulates the state’s quality assurance obligations and inspection procedures, the other regulates the content and labeling of goods.

Seven annexes serve a technical role, providing detailed guidance for implementing the provisions in the body:

• Appendix I – Other mandatory contents must be shown on the goods label according to the nature of each type of goods.
• Appendix II – Regulations on how to record the quantity of goods.
• Appendix III – Regulations on how to record the production date, expiry date and other timelines of goods.
• Appendix IV – How to record ingredients and quantitative ingredients of goods.
• Appendix V – How to record technical specifications, information, hygiene and safety warnings of goods.
• Appendix VI – Risk assessment method.
• Appendix VII – Forms, including 16 samples from registration for state inspection of imported goods quality to sample delivery and receipt records.

Regarding forms, the 16 forms in Appendix VII can be grouped into four functional clusters. The import goods inspection group includes Form No. 1 to Form No. 3 (inspection registration, application receipt form, inspection result notification). The group appointing a conformity assessment organization includes Form No. 4 and Form No. 7 to Form No. 13 (designation application, list of professional personnel, list of technical documents, list of testing equipment, designation decision, registration of change in scope of designation, request for reissue of decision, report on operational status). The group of codes and barcodes includes Form No. 5 and Form No. 6. The sampling and sealing group for inspection and survey includes Form No. 14 to Form No. 16.

A structural point to note: the three chapters III, IV and VI are all divided into sections, a total of 9 sections. This division accurately reflects the three operating axes of the decree: technology and data, labeling, and state management of quality. When looking up, you should determine in advance which section you are in to avoid mistakenly applying groups of regulations of different nature.

Seven key changes compared with Decree 132/2008/ND-CP

1. Switch from classifying group 1 and group 2 to three levels of risk. Article 4, Clause 2 classifies products and goods into high-risk groups, medium-risk groups and low risk groups, with definitions linked to the level of hazard and likelihood of risk occurrence. Article 4, Clause 1 also adds the precautionary principle: applied when there is a serious risk to health, human life, the environment or national security without sufficient scientific evidence.

2. Have a method to quantify the level of risk. Article 4, paragraph 3 refers to Appendix VI, where the formula for calculating risk scores and grouping thresholds is specified. This is a new methodological point: for the first time, quality management is anchored in a formula that can be calculated, verified and argued with data.

3. List of medium-risk and high-risk goods associated with HS codes. Article 5, Clause 2 requires ministries managing sectors and fields to issue a List of products and goods with medium-risk and high-risk levels with HS codes consistent with Vietnam’s List of Exported and Imported Goods, ensuring effective implementation from July 1, 2026. Article 5, Clause 4 stipulates that the dossier for promulgating the list includes explanation of reasons and risk assessment report with specific contents such as product description. chemicals, consultation opinions, hazard analysis, warning information from competent authorities and international organizations.

4. Product labeling becomes a separate chapter with five technical appendices. Chapter IV includes 21 regulations from location, size, color, language to each mandatory content and recording method, accompanied by Appendix I to Appendix V for detailed instructions. At the same time, Decree 43/2017/ND-CP and Decree 111/2021/ND-CP expire from the effective date of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP.

5. Electronic labels and digital passports of products have a legal framework. Article 32 stipulates the minimum content of a product passport, including product name and global product identification number (GTIN), information about organizations and individuals producing, importing, trading, origin information, traceability information, certifications of standard and regulation conformity, quality certification, production date and expiry date, safety warnings and other information for management. Notably, Article 32, Clause 4 allows the use of digital passports to replace electronic labels if the digital passport has all the required labeling content, while Article 32, Clause 3 affirms that organizations and individuals have the right to decide on electronic labeling.

6. Check imported goods differentiated by risk level. Article 82, Clause 1 stipulates that imported goods in the medium-risk category do not have to undergo quality inspection when imported but must declare conformity in accordance with the corresponding national technical regulations; Article 82, Clause 2 requires high-risk goods to register for quality inspection according to Article 83. Article 86 stipulates cases of inspection exemption and, in Clause 3, reduced inspection regime for high-risk goods when meeting the condition of 03 consecutive imports with notification of inspection results meeting quality requirements, with the same name, use, brand, type, technical characteristics, production facility, origin and the same organization. Importing officials and individuals.

7. Additional obligations for e-commerce channels and responsibilities for digital platforms. Article 70 stipulates that organizations and individuals selling goods and owners of intermediary digital platforms serving electronic transactions are responsible for implementing management requirements according to the provisions of the Law on Product and Goods Quality supplemented in Clause 19, Article 1 of Law No. 78/2025/QH15 before releasing goods into circulation on the market. Article 69 stipulates ensuring the quality of goods circulating on the market. In addition, Article 16 establishes the rank of “quality controller” for civil servants, public employees and officers of the people’s armed forces who are responsible for inspection, supervision and sampling.

The three technical pillars businesses must understand

Pillar 1: management by risk level

Article 4 stipulates the principle of risk determination based on scientific evidence and practical data, the management ability of state agencies in each period, transparency, objectivity, proportionality principle and prevention principle. Article 5 sets out the procedure, dossier and requirements for that list. Appendix VI stipulates three factors that make up the risk score: impact level, impact coefficient and likelihood of occurrence.

The formula and grouping threshold in Appendix VI are as follows:

Factor	Symbol	Value scale
Impact coefficient	k	0 – 0.2 – 0.5 – 0.8 – 1 (no impact, minor, moderate, dangerous, very dangerous)
Severity of the hazard	C	1 – 5 (very low, low, medium, high, very high)
Likelihood of occurrence	P	1 – 5 (very rare, unlikely, possible, very likely, frequent)

The risk score is calculated according to the formula R = k × C × P, where R is the risk score of the product or goods. Grouping threshold according to Appendix VI: low risk when R is less than 4.5; medium-risk when R is from 4.5 to less than 16; High risk when R is 16 or higher. Appendix VI also clearly states that for each product or item of goods there is only one impact coefficient k, each criterion has a unique C value and a unique P value; In case a good has many hazards, Article 5, clause 3, point b requires selecting the hazard with the highest risk level score as a basis for assessment.

Article 4, Clause 3 also opens a space for ministries managing industries and fields: on the basis of the Decree’s quantitative method, ministries can stipulate specific requirements for products and goods under their management. Therefore, when a ministry promulgates a list or national technical regulations, it is necessary to read those specific regulations instead of just applying the general formula.

Pillar 2: product labeling

Chapter IV is the chapter with the highest density of detailed regulations, and is also the chapter that directly replaces the previous legal foundation on goods labels. Main contents include scope of application and exclusion, label position, label size and font size, text color, symbols, images, presentation language, secondary labeling, labeling responsibilities, list of mandatory contents and how to write each content.

Article 42 stipulates mandatory content that must be shown on product labels; Articles 43 to 51 stipulate in detail how to record each content such as the name of the goods, name and address of the organization or individual responsible for the goods, quantity, date of manufacture and expiry date, origin, ingredients and quantity of ingredients, technical specifications and warning information. The technical instructions for each content are in Appendix I to Appendix V, in which Appendix I lists other mandatory contents depending on the nature of each type of goods.

Section 3 of Chapter IV is for electronic labeling: electronic labeling principles, recording content, declaration instructions on the national electronic label system and technical instructions. It is important to note the connection between Chapter IV and Chapter III: electronic labels are one of the forms of displaying goods information, while digital product passports are a data structure that can be used to replace electronic labels when they meet all required content. For businesses preparing product data for traceability, this is a point that can be optimized right from the data design stage, instead of creating two parallel systems.

Pillar 3: conformity assessment for state management

Section 2, Chapter VI, from Article 71 to Article 77, regulates the appointment of conformity assessment organizations and recognition of assessment results. Content includes designation conditions, designation registration dossier, application form, order and procedures for designation, revocation of designation decision, and responsibilities of the designated conformity assessment organization. This group of regulations has been analyzed in detail in a separate article on ticforall.com, which can be seen in the reference sources section at the end of the article.

The logical point to remember: the level of risk determines the measure of conformity. Article 66, Clause 2 stipulates that for products with a medium-risk level, the declaration of conformity can be based on the results of certification of conformity by a recognized certification organization, or the results of self-assessment on the basis of testing results of a recognized or designated testing organization; For products with a high level of risk, the declaration of conformity must be based on the results of certification of conformity by a designated certification organization. The Decree also stipulates the mechanism for switching from measures applied at medium-risk levels to measures applied at high-risk levels when detecting inappropriate quality, affecting health, or when there are complaints or denunciations about production activities.

Timeline of effect and the milestone dates to remember

Decree 37/2026/ND-CP takes effect from the date of signing, January 23, 2026 (Article 97, Clause 1). However, important implementation milestones do not lie on the same effective date, but range from 2026 to 2028. The table below summarizes the milestones according to the text content.

Timeline	Content	Legal basis
January 23, 2026	The Decree takes effect from the date of signing	Article 97, Clause 1
From the effective date of the Decree	Decree 43/2017/ND-CP on goods labels and Decree 111/2021/ND-CP expire; Clauses 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Article 1 of Decree 13/2022/ND-CP expire	Article 97, Clause 4
Within 06 months from the effective date of the Decree	The management of product and goods quality continues to be carried out in accordance with promulgated national technical regulations, current relevant legal regulations and the applicable list of products and goods.	Article 5, Clause 1
Until June 30, 2026	The classification of products and goods into groups 1 and 2 and the application of corresponding management measures continue to follow old documents.	Article 97, Clause 3
July 1, 2026	Decree 132/2008/ND-CP, Decree 74/2018/ND-CP, Article 4 of Decree 154/2018/ND-CP, Decree 13/2022/ND-CP expire; List of products and goods with medium-risk and high-risk with HS codes of ministries ensuring effective implementation	Article 97, Clause 2 and Article 5, Clause 2
No more than 02 years from the effective date of the Decree	Goods labels and packaging labeled in accordance with regulations in Decree 43/2017/ND-CP and Decree 111/2021/ND-CP that have been produced and printed before the Decree takes effect may continue to be used.	Article 98, Clause 4
Until the expiration date stated on the label	Goods labeled in accordance with old regulations that were produced, imported, circulated, and used before the Decree takes effect may continue to be circulated and used.	Article 98, Clause 3

Regarding transitional regulations, Article 98 has three noteworthy points. First, organizations and individuals that have been granted a Certificate of use of codes and barcodes before the effective date of the Decree continue to use that certificate until the end of the validity period. Second, the conformity assessment organization that has been designated by the ministries managing the industry or field or the People’s Committee of the province or city before the effective date of the Decree will continue to carry out conformity assessment activities until the end of the validity period of the designating decision. Third, if the application or registration dossier to designate conformity assessment activities has been received before the effective date of the Decree but has not yet been resolved, it will continue to be handled according to the provisions of law at the time of receipt.

With the above milestones, a pragmatic understanding is: the first half of 2026 is still the operating period under the old framework, and from July 1, 2026, the new framework will be replaced. Therefore, the compliance plan should be divided into two phases, and items that depend on the new category of industry and sector management ministries should be classified in phase two.

Obligations by role: a quick-reference map

Role	Core obligations	Articles
Production organizations and individuals	Implement quality management requirements before releasing products into circulation; ensure safety; self-identify and display warning information about risk levels; declaration of conformity according to the risk level; prove the safety of products with new characteristics or products appearing for the first time	Article 66, Article 67
Importing organizations and individuals	Implement quality management requirements before releasing goods into circulation; Declaration of conformity with medium-risk goods; Register for quality inspection of high-risk goods; prove the safety of goods that have new characteristics, or that are imported for the first time, and that present potential risk	Article 68, Article 82, Article 83
Organizations and individuals selling and managing digital platforms	Implement quality management requirements before releasing goods into circulation on the market for goods traded on digital platforms serving electronic transactions	Article 70
Conformity assessment organization	Meet designation conditions, prepare designation registration documents, comply with designation procedures and carry out responsibilities of the designated organization; Report on operational status according to Form No. 13	Article 71 – 77
Organizations and individuals trading in goods in circulation	Ensure the quality of goods circulating on the market and take responsibility according to regulations when goods do not ensure quality	Article 69, Article 90
Organizations and individuals providing origin traceability services	Fulfill the responsibilities of organizations and individuals providing traceability services and solutions; Organizations and individuals using codes and barcodes must carry out their respective responsibilities	Article 27, Article 28

How to read this table: the obligation column only states the main content, does not replace reading the original clause. For businesses that have multiple roles at the same time, such as producing, importing, and selling on digital platforms, each role needs to be reviewed because each role has its own set of obligations and its own timeline.

Where businesses should start: eight tasks for the next 90 days

1. Review the list of goods under management. List products and goods according to HS codes and compare them with currently applicable national technical regulations to know which group you are in according to the old classification method.
2. Prepare for reclassification according to risk level. For each product, data sets relate to the three elements of Annex VI: impacts on human, animal, plant and environmental health; control capabilities in the supply chain; warnings from competent authorities and international organizations.
3. Check existing regulations conformity declaration documents. Determine which products are declaring compliance based on self-assessment, and which products are based on certification from a certification organization. If the product can be classified as high-risk, it is necessary to prepare for transfer to certification measures by a certification organization designated according to Article 66, paragraph 2, point b.
4. Check the legal status of the conformity assessment service provider. With testing, inspection, and certification results used as a basis for declaration of conformity, it is necessary to know whether the supplier is accredited or designated and whether the scope of designation is still valid at the time of issuing the results or not.
5. Review product labels. Compare the current label content with the required content and recording method according to Chapter IV and Appendix I to Appendix V, especially with content that has specific instructions such as quantity, production date and expiration date, ingredient quantity, technical specifications and warnings.
6. Plan inventory labels. Determine the amount of labels and packaging printed according to Decree 43/2017/ND-CP and Decree 111/2021/ND-CP, calculate the time of use up within a maximum of 02 years from the effective date of Decree 37/2026/ND-CP according to Article 98, Clause 4, and adjust the printing schedule accordingly.
7. Assessing the need for electronic labels and digital passports. If an enterprise already has traceability data, consider designing a data set for both electronic labels and digital product passports according to Article 32, avoiding building two systems and having to merge them later.
8. Set up a document tracking schedule for industry and field management ministries. The list of medium-risk and high-risk goods with HS codes and new technical regulations are the documents that will determine specific obligations; Need to monitor periodically instead of just reading the Decree once.

The above eight tasks do not require waiting for written instructions, because most of them are based on the existing obligations of the enterprise and on the data the enterprise currently holds. The dependent part of the guidance document is mainly the step to determine the official list and technical details of the new regulation.

Five points to verify before applying the Decree

One, number and date of issuance, effective date. Before quoting documents, you should compare the symbol number, issuance date and effective date on the National Law Database or Official Gazette, because the version used for analysis in this article is the version provided by the enterprise and may have differences in presentation compared to the official version.

Second, the list of goods of the ministry managing the industry and field. The list of products and goods with medium-risk and high-risk levels and accompanying HS codes are documents of each ministry, issued according to the roadmap until July 1, 2026. The specific obligations of businesses depend directly on this list, so you need to look up according to your industry instead of speculating from a general formula.

Third, specific regulations on risks of each ministry. Article 4, Clause 3 allows ministries managing sectors and fields to stipulate specific requirements in the method of determining the level of quantitative risk. For products and goods belonging to specific industries and fields, it is necessary to read these specific regulations.

Four, guidance from regulators on electronic labels and digital passports. Chapter III and Chapter IV set out the legal framework, while the national electronic label system and the National Product and Goods Traceability Information Portal are technical infrastructure that will be deployed and guided in detail over time. Businesses should monitor technical announcements before investing in the system.

Five, one’s own transitional status. With certificates of codes and barcodes, decisions to appoint conformity assessment organizations, applications and documents that are being processed, you need to compare them with Article 98 to know which milestones apply to you and which milestones need to be prepared to switch to new regulations.

Conclusion

Decree 37/2026/ND-CP is the biggest change in the legal framework on product and goods quality in Vietnam in nearly two decades: in terms of scope, when detailing many contents from traceability, codes, barcodes to labeling and quality inspection; In terms of method, when moving from classifying groups 1 and 2 to three levels of quantitative risk; and on technical infrastructure, when bringing digital data, electronic labels and digital product passports into the regulatory framework.

For businesses, three milestones that need to be recorded in the work calendar are January 23, 2026 – the date the Decree takes effect, the same day that the old regulations on product labels expire; July 1, 2026 – the date the old foundation decrees expire and the list of goods by risk level begins to take effect; and a maximum of 02 years from the effective date of the Decree – the deadline to use up labels and packaging printed according to old regulations.
