Decoding New Law on Chemicals (No. 69/2025/QH15): The Future of Chemical Management in Vietnam

The new Vietnam Chemicals Law (Law No. 69/2025/QH15), enforced from January 1, 2026, marks a pivotal shift in the country's regulatory framework. Replacing the 2007 law that was in place for nearly two decades, this legislation transitions Vietnam from a traditional administrative licensing system for hazardous chemicals to a comprehensive, life-cycle-based risk management approach.

This webinar will provide a clear overview of the transition from the old to the new regulations, with a special focus on the practical aspects most relevant to your business, including import declaration, regulated chemical compliance and new chemical registration.
