According to regulations, do chemical labels have to indicate expiry dates in Vietnam?
According to Clause 1, Article 10 of Decree 43/2017/ND-CP, there are regulations on mandatory information to be shown on label in Vietnam the following contents:
1. Mandatory information to be shown on a label:
a) Name of goods;
b) Name and address of entity responsible for the goods;
c) Origin of goods;
d) Other details in conformity with the nature of the goods prescribed in Appendix I of this Decree and relevant legislative documents.
According to Annex I of this Decree, for chemicals, the following information must be added:
a) Quantity;
b) Date of manufacture;
c) Expiry date (if any);
d) Ingredients or ingredient quantities;
dd) Chemical identification number (if any);
e) Warning pictograms, letters, risks (if any);
g) Prevention measures (if any);

In fact, not every chemical has expiry date, however, if the chemical has expiry date, this content must be on the label in Vietnam.
