In the context of an increasingly demanding market for product transparency and consumer safety, self-declaration of products has become a mandatory requirement for many manufacturers, importers, and distributors in Vietnam.
What is a Product Self-Declaration Dossier?
Product self-declaration is a compulsory legal procedure under Decree No. 15/2018/NĐ-CP, applicable to pre-packaged food, food ingredients, additives, flavorings, utensils, and packaging materials that come into direct contact with food.
A self-declaration dossier is a collection of legal and technical documents submitted to a competent state authority to demonstrate that the product meets all conditions for circulation on the market.
What Does a Product Self-Declaration Dossier Include?
According to current regulations, a product self-declaration dossier typically includes:
- A self-declaration form using the prescribed template;
- A valid product testing result certificate issued by a designated testing laboratory;
- A certified copy of the business registration certificate;
- A certificate of food safety eligibility for the facility (if required by law);
- Documents proving the origin and composition of the product (if applicable).
Depending on the specific type of product, additional technical documents may be required.
Procedure for Product Self-Declaration
Enterprises must follow these steps:
- Prepare a complete dossier in accordance with regulations;
- Submit the dossier to the competent state authority (Department of Health or the Food Safety Management Board, depending on the locality);
- Publicly announce the self-declaration on the company website or via mass media;
- Keep the dossier on file for future inspections or audits.
Once completed, the enterprise may distribute the product to the market without waiting for formal approval.
