Procedures for issuing Certificate of technical safety quality and environmental protection for domestically manufactured and assembled military vehicles in Vietnam

Implementation Process:

Step 1: The manufacturing, assembling facility or ordering unit prepares one dossier requesting the issuance of the Certificate of Technical Safety Quality and Environmental Protection for domestically produced, assembled motor vehicles and submits it to the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport/General Logistics and Technical Department. If the dossier is incomplete, within 3 working days, the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport/General Logistics and Technical Department will notify in writing to the manufacturing, assembling facility or ordering unit to supplement the dossier.

Step 2: The Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport/General Logistics and Technical Department decides to establish the Inspection Council for the Quality, Technical Safety, and Environmental Protection of domestically produced, assembled motor vehicles (Inspection Council). The Inspection Council conducts checks on the configuration, testing, and evaluation of the combat and technical features of motor vehicles approved by the Chief of General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army and verifies the inspection report for imported or domestically produced, assembled motor vehicles. The Inspection Council is not established in the following cases: Imported motor vehicles of the same brand, configuration, and basic combat-technical features previously issued a Certificate. Domestically produced, assembled motor vehicles of the same brand, configuration, basic combat-technical features, and manufactured by the same facility previously issued a Certificate.

Step 3: If the technical specifications of the motor vehicles meet the requirements, the Inspection Council submits to the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport/General Logistics and Technical Department to issue the Certificate of Technical Safety Quality and Environmental Protection for domestically produced, assembled motor vehicles and delivers two copies to the manufacturing, assembling facility or ordering unit. If any technical specification does not meet the requirement, the Inspection Council will inform the manufacturing, assembling facility or ordering unit to rectify and complete it. The period for rectification and completion is not included in the time for issuing the Certificate.

Method of Implementation: Directly or through the public postal service (or military post) or electronically.
