At the end of 2016, the Ministry of Transport issued Circular 42/2016/TT-BGTVT promulgating National Technical Regulations on Urban Railway Operation and Maintenance.

The periodic inspection cycle of railway tracks is prescribed by Circular 42/2016/TT-BGTVT as follows:

- Periodic inspection of railway track structures includes inspecting the condition and components constituting the railway track structure.- Periodic inspection of the railway track structure is carried out at least once a year, from the date of the periodic inspection of the previous inspection period.- Based on the condition review of the railway track structure, if it is necessary to shorten the inspection cycle, a corresponding new inspection cycle must be prescribed and inspections conducted according to that cycle.- In the case of large-scale construction replacing the entire component or installed equipment, the above-mentioned periodic inspection date applied to the post-construction works must be newly defined.- Temporary suspension of inspection in the following cases:

- Due to thunderstorms, natural disasters, accidents, or incidents.- Suspension of inspection to prioritize handling natural disasters, accidents, or incidents at other locations.

Details can be found at Circular 42/2016/TT-BGTVT, which took effect on January 15, 2017.
