Vietnam Standards Training Program (VSTP)
In 2007-2008, ANSI carried out a highly successful Vietnam Standards Training Program (VSTP) in cooperation with the Vietnam Directorate for Standards (STAMEQ), with sponsorship from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency. Follow the appropriate link below to access information about the program:
The training sessions of the Vietnam Standards Training Program (VSTP) were carried out in two separate phases, including 3 introductory training sessions via digital video conference in January 2008 and a 7-day workshop in March 2008. More than 120 representatives from the Vietnamese public and private sectors attended these training sessions.

In order to provide Vietnamese training participants with the foundation necessary to benefit from the March intensive sessions as well as to give U.S. trainers and stakeholders an advanced understanding of the Vietnamese system and their challenges, three digital video conference sessions were held in January 2008. The first two DVCs were to give Vietnamese participants background on ANSI and the U.S. standards and conformity assessment system and the final DVC provided U.S. participants with an overview of STAMEQ (Directorate for Standards and Quality), the Vietnamese certification system, and accreditation activities.
The intensive sessions were held in March 2008 and built off of the virtual sessions and explored in more depth 6 key focal points of standards and conformity assessment in Vietnam: standards development, conformity assessment, regulatory principles, the WTO TBT agreement, APEC, and product-focused environmental policies. The intensive sessions concluded with two panel discussions, the first gathering U.S. Government representatives to respond to participants’ questions and concerns and the second congregating industry representative for the same purpose.
