              Up to now, 14 QCVN have completed the appraisal steps awaiting promulgation; 1 QCVN is in the process of appraisal; 3 QCVN are in the process of being verified by the Department of Science and Technology and 10 QCVN are in the process of being developed and completed.

              National technical standards on the environment are the basis for the implementation of the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 and its guiding documents.

              The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment develops these standards based on experience and parameters in the standards of advanced countries such as Korea, and at the same time compares them with countries with the same development level as Viet Nam to set the appropriate thresholds, ensuring practicality and science.
