New Conformity Assessment Framework in Argentina

Argentina is set to implement a new conformity assessment framework on September 30, 2024, as approved by the Secretariat of Industry and Commerce of the Ministry of Economy. This framework is designed to ensure that products and services meet the technical regulations established by the government.

The evaluation procedures will be conducted through the Remote Procedures Platform (TAD), streamlining the process and enhancing transparency. This system aims to improve the efficiency of conformity assessments and ensure compliance with safety and quality standards.

A new surveillance scheme will also be introduced to reinforce the monitoring of product safety and quality, safeguarding consumers and bolstering market confidence.

This update supersedes previous certification systems, specifically those outlined in Resolution No. 197/04, which has now been repealed. Effective September 30, 2024, all conformity assessment processes will adhere to the new requirements established by this framework and will be managed through the TAD Platform or its future digital replacements.
