Vietnam has improved its business opportunities by signing free trade agreements with some key global players like the EU, US, Japan, Korea, and Asean. While these agreements would bring global market access to Vietnamese businesses, it also means that Vietnamese manufacturers have to comply with more stringent quality and safety regulations.

International government safety and quality regulations on textile and garment products are changing constantly, especially in today’s free trade business landscape.

Global buyers, especially those in Europe and the US, are increasingly demanding with respect to the kind and quality of products they want.

Quality and safety control are essential for companies in Vietnam, especially those looking to take their products to international markets.

Tuv Sud, an international service provider in testing, inspection, audit and certification, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with garment, textile, embroidery and knitting units in Vietnam.

Under the MoU, the two sides will co-organise quality and safety workshops and awareness programs related to the textile and garment industry.

The in-house training sessions would aim to provide local manufacturers an updated and more in-depth understanding of stringent international quality and safety standards.

The agreement is expected to immensely benefit member companies and take their business to the next level.
