In a move aimed at enhancing regulatory clarity and consumer information, the Argentinean ICT regulatory body, ENACOM, unveiled updated guidelines regarding label requirements for radio and telecom products approved and registered as homologated devices. This update, issued in May 2023, marks a minor revision since the last update in 2020, which introduced the RAMATEL logo.
The new guideline, developed following consultations with various industry stakeholders, seeks to provide greater flexibility in labeling implementation while ensuring accessibility to relevant certification information for consumers and market surveillance authorities.
Key changes introduced include:
– Provision for publishing certification information online for products integrated into vehicles or featuring labels on screens.
– Additional options for displaying RAMATEL approval information, such as inclusion in Quick Start Guides.
While certain aspects like general format, dimensions, calligraphy, color, and module implementation remain unchanged, the updated guidelines aim to streamline labeling requirements and improve transparency in the marketplace.
This revision impacts the reference for labeling requirements within the Type Approval framework, emphasizing the importance of compliance with updated guidelines. Importantly, there are no direct impacts on spectrum allocation, imports, or applicable standards, with the focus solely on enhancing consumer information for all ICT products.
