The marketing approval in Argentina is regulated by the local authority ENACOM. It is based on FCC certification and specific national requirements. To obtain approval in Argentina, the involvement of a local representative is just as necessary as local testing on site.
After the successful certification, the product approval is valid for a total of three years
and the products must bear the ENACOM label in order to be marketed in Argentina.
