The country of Argentina has created and instituted a conformity assessment system which is partially patterned after certain international standards. It includes product certification requirements and product labeling, and when applicable, local laboratory testing. The Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (ENACOM) in Argentina is responsible for type approvals. At Approve-IT, we can help you achieve the ENACOM Argentina type approvals you need for your wireless device products designated for the Argentina market.
