As Chinese new materials companies speed up setting up production bases in Southeast Asia—Vietnam being one of the most important destinations—the construction of QC labs in overseas factories has become a rigid need. Dehui Scientific Instruments recently completed the delivery of a new materials lab in Vietnam, gaining valuable experience in setting up labs in the Southeast Asian market.

What makes the Vietnam project unique is its 'dual-standard compatibility': the lab must meet the quality management system requirements of the China headquarters (data formats, testing methods, SOP templates consistent with Chinese factories) while also complying with local Vietnamese regulations (equipment import tariff classification, coordination with local calibration services, and QC staff operating habits). Compared to setting up a lab in China, this adds an extra layer of 'cross-cultural communication' complexity.

Dehui's practical insights from the Vietnam project: First is 'export-adapted' equipment selection—choosing globally recognized brands (like TA Instruments, Instron, Mettler Toledo) to ensure local or regional after-sales support in Vietnam. Second is localized training—preparing training materials in English (or Vietnamese) and using diagrams wherever possible in SOP operation steps. Third is logistics and customs clearance—exporting precision instruments to Vietnam requires assisting the client with FORM E and local importer inspections, and the equipment packaging must be sturdy enough to withstand high temperatures and humidity.
