The conditions for trading in conditional chemicals sit in clause 1 of Article 11 of Law on Chemicals No. 69/2025/QH15.
The four conditions
- Established in accordance with the law;
- Adequate legal documents, safety documents, technical facilities and professional capability for the trading activity;
- Meeting Article 33 — safety and security in chemical activities;
- Holding a Certificate of eligibility to trade in conditional chemicals (issued by the provincial People’s Committee, valid five years).
What Article 33 requires
- Technical facilities meeting the chemical safety and security requirements;
- A person responsible for chemical safety with appropriate qualifications;
- Workers involved trained and issued personal protective equipment suited to their duties.
★ When the certificate is not required (Article 18)
This is the provision few people know. Clause 1 of Article 18 exempts the certificate and licences where:
- A mixture contains a substance on a list issued by the Government under point a clause 1 or point a clause 2 of Article 9, but is classified as hazardous at a low level;
- The decanting or blending of chemicals serves directly the internal production of the organisation doing the decanting or blending;
- Other cases prescribed by the Government.
The detail is set by the Government (clause 2 of Article 18) — check Decree 26/2026/ND-CP before concluding that your company is exempt.
Revocation (Article 19)
Article 19 sets out when the certificate of eligibility for production and trading in conditional chemicals, the licences for special-control and banned chemicals, and the certificate of eligibility for chemical storage services are revoked.
