As Vietnam cements its position as a regional manufacturing and logistics hub, the demand for high-quality industrial warehouses is accelerating. Yet constructing facilities that are merely functional is no longer enough. Today’s market demands warehouses that meet rigorous design standards ensuring legal compliance, operational efficiency, and future scalability.
Join DaiDung Group in exploring why aligning with these standards is no longer optional, but essential.
Why Warehouse Design Standards Matter?
Warehouse design standards are critical for safeguarding workers, protecting assets, and maintaining operational efficiency. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), proper warehouse layout and facility design serve as the first line of defense against common hazards in storage and logistics operations.
- Safety & Risk Prevention: Frequent warehouse hazards are forklift accidents, improper electrical installations, fall risks, inadequate ventilation, and insufficient fire protection. Design standards help mitigate these dangers through structured layouts, designated pedestrian zones, exit strategies, and spill containment systems
- Structural & Operational Efficiency: Effective warehouse standards address clear aisle widths, dock loading configurations, rack layouts, and floor flatness requirements to support efficient operations and reduce accidents involving mechanical handling equipment
- Regulatory Compliance & Worker Health: Design compliance ensures alignment with warehouse design standards (e.g., guardrails, emergency exits), electrical codes, and ventilation standards. This not only avoids legal penalties but also fosters a safer working environment and helps secure better insurance terms.
- Long-Term Reliability & Cost Savings: A well-designed warehouse reduces long-term maintenance needs and operational disruptions by incorporating durable flooring, proper lighting, and planned traffic flows, minimizing wear and extending facility life.
Designing Warehouses in Vietnam: Navigating Local Codes & Global Standards
From industrial parks in Bac Ninh to logistics zones near Ho Chi Minh City, warehouse developers should now navigate a complex intersection of Vietnamese national regulations and global engineering standards. Success in this environment demands more than construction expertise, it requires deep knowledge of legal codes, safety systems, warehouse design standards, and international expectations.
1. Vietnamese Regulatory Landscape: QCVN & Fire Safety
Vietnam’s rapid industrial growth and development of industrial zones has heightened expectations for high-quality warehouse infrastructure. National technical regulations including:
- QCVN 03:2012/BXD on National Technical Regulation on Principles for Classification and Grading of Civil, Industrial, and Urban Infrastructure Works issued by the Ministry of Construction;
- Law 27/2001/QH10 pertaining to fire prevention and firefighting regulations;
- Decree 136/2020/NĐ‑CP on fire protection are mandatory for warehouse construction and operation.
Compliance is essential to secure permits, avoid penalties, and ensure safe operations.
2. Harmonizing International Standards with Local Compliance
To meet the needs of multinational clients and integrate into global supply chains, developers are increasingly adopting international benchmarks alongside Vietnamese regulations. Commonly referenced standards include:
- ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems
- EN 1090-1 – Execution of steel structures (EU standard)
- ASTM A123 – Zinc (hot-dip galvanized) coatings for iron and steel (US standard)
This dual-standard approach helps ensure long-term durability, trust from global partners, and alignment with international ESG and compliance audits.
