Argentina’s Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (ENACOM) has officially modernised its Type Approval landscape via Resolution 57/2026, replacing decades-old regulations (729/80 and 784/87). This change aims to align the local market with international standards, such as those used by the FCC or CE.
Key Technical and Procedural Shifts:
Third-Party Certification: The process will now be managed by accredited Certification Agencies and laboratories (under ISO/IEC 17065). These entities will issue Certificates of Conformity required for RAMATEL registration.
Permanent Registration: New approvals issued under this framework will no longer expire. Instead, a Market Surveillance system will be implemented to ensure ongoing technical compliance.
Digital Integration: All workflows will transition exclusively to the HERTZ System by the implementation date.
The transition period is currently active, but the new RAMATEL regulation becomes fully effective on 1 September 2026. Until then, applications follow existing rules with a 3-year validity. Post-September, all new entries must adhere to the new decentralised model.
This is a major shift in how telecom equipment enters the Argentine market. If you are looking for guidance on how to meet these new requirements, or need help planning your certification projects ahead of the transition coming in September 2026, contact our team for expert advice.
