National Standard TCVN 13528-1:2022 Good Aquaculture Practices (VietGAP) - Part 1: Pond Aquaculture.

This Standard sets principles and requirements to ensure food safety, aquatic animal health, environmental protection, and social responsibility. Key areas include site selection, infrastructure, equipment, water quality, feed and input management, disease control, waste handling, and traceability. It also prohibits the use of genetically modified aquatic species and harmful substances.
The Standard emphasizes internal audits, documentation, and training for farm managers and workers. It requires compliance with environmental regulations and biodiversity protection, and mandates safe working conditions and fair labor practices. VietGAP-certified farms must maintain detailed records and implement systems to distinguish certified products.
