Guidelines on the evaluation and recognition of registration results for explosive material products during the trial period in Vietnam from January 1, 2025

According to the provisions of Clause 3, Article 7 of Circular 23/2024/TT-BCT, the evaluation and recognition of the registration results of explosive material products in Vietnam shall be conducted as follows:

- Within 15 working days from the date of receiving valid dossiers, the Department of Science and Technology shall submit to the Minister of Industry and Trade to issue a written notice to organizations and enterprises for experimental production and to decide on the establishment of a Science and Technology Council to evaluate the technical specifications in the laboratory;

- Within 20 working days from the date of the establishment decision, the Science and Technology Council shall collect samples and supervise the testing of technical specifications at the designated testing laboratory. The Chairman of the Science and Technology Council decides on the industrial explosion testing, except in cases where: The industrial explosive material products include specific industrial explosive accessories and strong explosives as specified in Appendix I attached to Circular 23/2024/TT-BCT; conditions for conducting industrial explosion tests are not met;

- Within 15 working days from the date of receiving reports on the preparation of conditions for conducting industrial explosions by the organization or enterprise, the Science and Technology Council shall supervise the industrial explosion tests, examine plans for blasting, blasting passports, and the sequence of conducting industrial explosions; monitor the industrial explosion tests at approved locations; and prepare minutes on the industrial explosion test results;

- Within 15 working days from the date of receiving the document on industrial explosion test results and the report calculating the effectiveness of utilizing new industrial explosive products, the Department of Science and Technology shall submit to the Minister of Industry and Trade to issue a decision recognizing the registration result of the explosive material product into the List of Industrial Explosives according to Form No. 06 Appendix V issued together with Circular 23/2024/TT-BCT.

For explosive materials that are products of research tasks requiring industrial explosion tests, the use of industrial explosion test results is permitted for task acceptance and product registration in the List of Industrial Explosives.

Refer to Circular 23/2024/TT-BCT (effective from January 1, 2025).
