Nguyen Vu1 Standards-Metrology-Quality Center No. 1 Directorate for Standards-Metrology-Quality, Ministry of Science and Technology Abstract: Since 2005 to now, the organizational structure of public technical services in StandardsMetrology-Quality fields (a science and technology (S&T) organizational scheme) has shifted its activities to another model on basis of Resolution No. 115/2005/ND-CP dated 5th September 2005 (Resolution 115) by the Government which governs the self-control and selfliability (SCSL) mechanism of public S&T organizations.

In addition, on basis of that, some proposals are made for mechanisms and policies to promote strongly the shifting process of public technical service organizations to SCSL mechanisms in lines with Resolution 115 by the Government.
