Certificate Delays at INTI
The National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI) is currently experiencing over 40 days of conflict, leading to significant delays in obtaining certificates.
Causes of Conflict
This conflict arises from the economic policies being implemented by the Argentine government. To stabilize the country’s economy, the government has decided to reduce the personnel of the National Public Administration (APN) in hierarchical offices, aiming to save ARG$ 1,000 million (Argentine pesos) annually for the State.
Changes to Product Testing
A critical change in government plans involves the restructuring of product testing. INTI will now subcontract the homologation and certification process to external firms, halting all internal operations.
Impact on Manufacturers
As a result, this has led to the near-paralyzation of the institution, causing numerous delays in the issuance of certificates and preventing manufacturers from importing their products.
For manufacturers urgently needing to renew their certifications, extensions are available. Please contact ORBIS to expedite your process.
