On July 29, 2024, the General Department of Market Surveillance under the Ministry of Industry and Trade issued an official directive to strengthen the inspection of fire safety equipment (PCCC). The goal is to manage the quality of firefighting equipment circulating in the market, prevent the sale of uncertified, low-quality products, and ensure strict compliance with legal regulations.
The Alarming Reality
Across many provinces and cities in Vietnam, the illegal sale and use of uncertified firefighting equipment has become a serious concern.
Cheap, low-quality fire safety products not only violate consumer rights but also pose a significant safety risk to the community.
Common problems with uncertified firefighting equipment include:
- Failure to meet working pressure requirements
- Inferior materials prone to damage
- Unreliable performance during emergencies
In densely populated urban areas, the use of substandard fire safety equipment can delay emergency response, leading to severe damage to life and property.
To tackle this critical issue, the General Department of Market Surveillance has launched strong enforcement measures.
Decisive Actions from Authorities
The directive requires Market Surveillance Departments in all provinces and major cities to:
✅ Strengthen local monitoring
- Work closely with local police and relevant agencies
- Detect and strictly handle violations in the production and distribution of firefighting equipment
✅ Raise public awareness
- Educate businesses and individuals about fire safety regulations during inspections
- Enforce strict penalties for violations to deter future misconduct
