Certification IntroductionIn order to ensure the safe use of electrical appliances by the public, Argentina requires that electrical products sold on the market must meet the corresponding regulatory requirements. Argentina promulgated a resolution on February 16, 1998, and began to establish a compulsory certification system to enable electrical products sold in the Argentine market to meet the minimum safety requirements. The implementation of the system is divided into three stages: the first stage:This stage of certification is similar to the European CE certification. All electrical products entering the Argentine market are required to have a certificate of conformity, which is what we usually call a CE certificate. The second-stage:Products need to be tested in IRAM's accredited laboratory to obtain a type approval certificate issued by it. Type approval only requires safety testing without factory inspection, but no safety certification marks can be used on products. The third stage: At this stage, all products sold in the Argentine market must obtain national certification marks. Certified products may use the "S" mark. Argentina's certification is transitioning to the third stage, the product certification stage, and the type approval certificate is still acceptable in Argentina. But in 2001~2002, the products will gradually complete the transition to the certification stage.safety requirementsProtocol 197/2004 stipulates that S-Mark is mandatory for electrical and electronic products, toys, personal protective equipment, elevators, lighters, children's bicycles, and steel equipment for construction with input voltage in the range of AC 50-1000 VAC, or DC 50-1500 VDC Certification. The agreement requires that the product must conform to the IRAM or IEC standard. The IRAM standard is mainly based on international standards (IEC and ISO). Manufacturers can attach the Argentine S mark to the products that meet the standards, and the product evaluation is carried out according to the IEC standard plus the Argentine difference or the Argentine standard. In fact, the formulation of the IRAM standard has adopted most of the provisions of the IEC standard. Resolution 92/98 was implemented in several stages, starting from 1 December 2003, gradually setting mandatory safety requirements for different types of products.Certification process1. The manufacturer's relevant laboratory (hereinafter referred to as the laboratory) submits an oral or written preliminary application. 2. The applicant fills in the application form and sends the application form, product specification and technical documents to the experiment, and the applicant company is also required to provide a prototype). 3.
