Question:
Import of industrial boiler items on installation and commissioning. In addition to being registered for state quality control, this item is also subject to the minimum energy efficiency regulations under Decision 24/2018 / TTg effective July 10, 2018. Under this decision we have to do a minimum energy efficiency test as directed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and submit the post-clearance documents. However, if we enter the boiler for the first time and have tested the energy efficiency, then the second time when we import the same model, does the energy efficiency for this next boiler have to be done?

Reply:

- Pursuant to Clause 4, Article 4 of Circular No. 36/2016 / TT-BCT dated December 28, 2016 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade stipulating energy labeling for means and equipment using energy:

"Article 4. Energy efficiency test

... 4. Typical sample testing: Enterprises take samples by themselves, equipment, quantity and methods of taking samples according to corresponding standards or regulations of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and send them to testing organizations for testing and issue test results.

5. Test results are the basis for energy labeling of products of the same model, same specifications, same origin and same manufacturing facility. Test results are valid indefinitely, unless competent state agencies detect violations in testing results or have violations or violations committed by testing organizations ”.

Request the company to refer to the above-mentioned contents to implement, in case of arising problems, please contact the Customs Department where the intended registration of a declaration or a specialized agency of the Ministry of Industry and Trade is proposed to obtain specific instructions.
