Argentina – ENACOM to Enforce Local Testing

On September 1, 2021, ENACOM published Resolution 1248/2021 which named the INTI National Lab as an Accredited Test Laboratory to carry out testing and issue reports for the following RF Testing Standards:

• Medical Devices (ENACOM-Q2-60.15 V19.1)
• User Terminals for Mobile Communication Systems (ENACOM-Q2-61.03 V17.1)
• Radio Base Transceivers of Mobile Communication Services (ENACOM-Q2-61.04 V17.1)

This accreditation revokes the use of Declarations of Conformity and enters into force the in-country testing for medical devices and radio base transceivers; whereas for cellular terminals, the local testing would become mandatory only when International certification is not available. This resolution has established an adaptation period of 180 days. Local testing will be applicable starting March 2022.
