Argentina - New Product Certification requirements
On August 29, 2024, the Argentina Ministry of Economy issued Resolution No. 237/2024, approving the technical and procedural specifications of the general conformity assessment framework.
Order No.1/2024 of the National Technical Regulation Directorate of the Secretariat of Industry and Trade was later issued in Nov, 2024 to supplement Resolution No.237/2024.
This measure defines the terms applied to the general conformity assessment framework and establishes supplementary and procedural provisions in relation to:
- section 2.1, on accreditation;
- section 3, on conformity assessment (use or transfer of documents, sworn declaration of conformity, conformity assessment procedures, and labelling and marking requirements and specifications)
In specific - there will be new conformity marking that includes a QR code, which will start implementing from March 2025.
- section 4, on compliance monitoring.
In relation to conformity marking, it establishes that manufacturers and importers of products requiring a product certification under a technical regulation could opt to retain the security seal that they have been using on their products or adopt the conformity marking introduced in section 3.3 of the Annex to Resolution No. 237/2024, until the date indicated in Article 4 thereof.
Once the conformity marking requirement comes into effect, the products referred to in the previous paragraph should be marked according to the specifications set out in section 3.3 of the Annex to Resolution No. 237/2024 and section 3.4 of the Annex to the Order.
