Foreword
QCVN 01-188:2018/BNNPTNT is prepared by the Drafting Board for National technical regulation on pesticide quality under the Plant Protection Department, submitted by the Department of Science Technology and Environment for approval and promulgated together with the Circular No. 12/2018/TT-BNNPTNT dated October 05, 2018 by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.
NATIONAL TECHNICAL REGULATION ON PESTICIDE QUALITY
1.1. Scope
This Regulation provides for limits of quality parameters for pesticides.
1.2. Regulated entities
This Regulation applies to domestic and foreign organizations and individuals related to the import, manufacture and trading of pesticides; assessment and declaration of conformity of pesticides in Vietnam.
1.3. Definitions
For the purposes of this Regulation, the terms below shall be construed as follows:
“chemical pesticide” means a type of pesticide whose active ingredients are synthetic organic or inorganic chemicals.
“toxic impurity” means any toxic component in pesticides that must be controlled and specifically regulated (if possible) for each type of active ingredient and products containing that active ingredient.
“average content” or “average density” means the average value of 2 replicates for a test sample.
1.4. Normative references
- Pursuant to the Law on Plant Protection and Quarantine dated November 25, 2013.
- The Circular No. 21/2015/TT-BNNPTNT dated June 08, 2015 of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development on management of pesticides.

2.1 Requirements for content of active ingredient
2.1.1 Technical pesticides
Minimum content of technical pesticide active ingredient to be registered must not be lower than that prescribed by applicable regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development under the Circular promulgating the List of permitted pesticides permitted for use in Vietnam, and when determined, the average content must not be lower than the registered minimum content.
Where the minimum active ingredient content of a technical pesticide is not specified under applicable regulations, it must be registered and approved by the Plant Protection Department, and when determined, the average content must not be lower than the registered minimum content.
2.1.2 Formulated pesticides
Content of each active ingredient present in a formulated pesticide shall be expressed as % of weight or g/kg or g/l at (20 ± 2) °C in the form of the registered formulated products, and when determined, the average content must lie within the tolerance range specified in Table 1.

+ Storage stability at elevated temperature is normally tested at 54 °C ± 2 °C for 14 days, however, some specific pesticide active ingredients may be decomposed by heat. Accordingly, upon determination, the appropriate temperature and time for the formulation may be selected (according to TCVN 8050:2016).
+ For pesticides containing active ingredients used for fumigation, it is not required to test the storage stability at elevated temperature for laboratory practice safety reasons.

Conformity assessment bodies may apply other test methods with equivalent accuracy designated by the Plant Protection Department.
4.1 General principles of management of pesticide quality
Comply with regulations of Law on Quality of Products and Goods and its guiding documents.
Ensure transparency, objectivity, non-discrimination in terms of origin and organizations and individuals related to quality of products and goods, conformity with international practice, protection of legitimate rights and interests of manufacturers, traders and consumers.
Imported pesticides must undergo state inspection of their quality before customs clearance.
4.2 Regulations on conformity certification
Conformity of pesticides shall be assessed in accordance with the Circular No. 28/2012/TT-BKHCN dated December 12, 2012 and Circular No. 02/2017/TT-BKHCN dated March 31, 2017. To be specific:
4.2.1 Method 5: Testing representative samples and assessing the production process; carrying out monitoring by testing samples collected at production sites or on the market and assessing the production process In this case, validity of the certificate of conformity is 3 years; monitoring shall be carried out every year. Upon annual monitoring, it is required to collect samples of all pesticides registered for conformity certification and 100% of quality parameters shall be tested. This method applies to domestic production of pesticides.
4.2.2 Method 7: Testing and assessing product and goods shipments. The certificate of conformity is only valid for the shipments having undergone assessment. This method applies to imported pesticides.
4.3 Regulations on conformity declaration
4.3.1. Conformity of imported pesticides shall be declared using the certification results given by the designated conformity certification assessment bodies. Conformity of domestically produced pesticides shall be declared using the certification results given by the designated conformity certification assessment bodies or conformity self-assessment results given by the organizations and individuals.
4.3.2. The testing of pesticide quality in support of conformity certification and assessment in accordance with this Regulation shall be carried out by a laboratory designated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
4.3.3. The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development shall receive applications for registration of declaration of conformity and issue notifications of receipt of application for registration of declaration of conformity.
5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF RELATED ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS
5.1 Conformity assessment bodies
Every conformity assessment body has the responsibility to:
5.1.1 Assess conformity with respect to test methods and fields as registered or designated.
5.1.2 Facilitate inspection and monitoring by the Plant Protection Department.
5.1.3 Exercise its rights and obligations specified in Articles 19 and 20 of Law on Quality of Products and Goods.
5.1.4 Every 6 months and every year or on an ad hoc basis, submit a report on assessment of conformity as registered or designated to the Plant Protection Department. The report shall be submitted before June 15 and December 15 every year.
5.1.5 Report to the Plant Protection Department any change that affects its capacity for carrying out designated activities within 15 days from the occurrence of such change.
5.2 Pesticide importers and manufactures
Every pesticide importer/manufacturer has the responsibility to:
5.2.1 Declare conformity of pesticides in accordance with this technical regulation.
5.2.2 Continuously maintain and take responsibility for conformity of pesticides whose conformity has been confirmed; maintain its quality control, testing and periodic monitoring.
5.2.3 In case of declaring conformity using the conformity self-assessment result given by an organization or individual: every 6 months and every year or on an ad hoc basis, submit a report on declaration of conformity to the Plant Protection Department. The report shall be submitted before June 15 and December 15 every year.
5.2.4 Use conformity marks for pesticides whose conformity has been declared before being circulated on the market.
5.2.5 Upon detecting any non-conformity of a pesticide whose conformity has been declared during its circulation or use:
- Promptly notify the non-conformity in writing to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the province where business is registered and Plant Protection Department; suspend the release and recall the non-conforming pesticide circulated on the market.
- Take corrective actions; notify the results of the corrective actions in writing to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the province where business is registered and Plant Protection Department before continuing to put the pesticide on the market.
6.1. The Plant Protection Department shall provide guidance on, examine and inspect the implementation of this Regulation; submit revisions to this Regulation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development where necessary; designate conformity assessment bodies in accordance with this Regulation.
6.2. Where any of the legislative documents and standards referred to in this Regulation is amended or replaced, the newest one shall prevail.
