Argentina’s ENACOM Accepts Foreign Test Reports for Equipment Certification

Published /Argentina

ENACOM's New Acceptance Policy

On July 23, 2018, Argentina’s National Communications Entity, ENACOM, acknowledged the possibility of accepting test reports from foreign laboratories and recognizing certificates of approval issued by entities similar to ENACOM (such as ANATEL, IFT, FCC, or another similar organism).

However, there are foreign products that are either not marketed in the USA, Mexico, or Brazil, or they use specific frequencies that differ from the bands allocated in Argentina, such as the 698 - 806 MHz band utilized by the FCC.

Consequently, on February 18, 2019, ENACOM published Resolution No. 793/2019, which establishes the temporary acceptance of Declarations of Conformity in the homologation process, until local laboratories are accredited to perform the requested testing.

The Declaration of Conformity must be a sworn statement from the manufacturer indicating that the equipment/model complies with ENACOM's regulations as specified in Resolution No. 793/2019.

Resolution No. 793/2019 went into effect on February 18, 2019.
