The government of Vietnam officially issued Decree No. 33 of 2024, aimed at enhancing the management of chemical production and business activities to ensure full compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). This measure marks a significant step forward for Vietnam in the global effort to control chemical weapons.
Under the new decree, the government of Vietnam will implement strict classification management of chemicals, including toxic chemicals and their precursors, which are clearly divided into Categories 1, 2, and 3 according to the annexes of the CWC. The decree also includes a detailed list of chemicals, specifying names, HS codes, CAS numbers, and chemical formulas to facilitate accurate identification and management.
