The Secretaría de Industria y Comercio in Argentina issued Resolución 16/2025, Resolución 17/2025, and Resolución 26/2025 on February 25, 2025, establishing essential quality and safety requirements for electrical equipment. These include labeling updates for cord plugs, allowing any plug with a certified adapter disclaimer under IRAM 2073/2071. A mandatory tag must state that the product is not supplied with a standard Argentine power plug and that a certified grounded adapter is required to ensure safety.
As of February 26, 2025, the following Resolutions are no longer valid:
- Resolución 169/2018 on electrical safety (certificates issued under this remain valid until February 26, 2026, with required surveillance).
- Resolución 731/1987 on power cable labels for Class I and II products.
- Resolución 524/1998 on minimum safety conditions for plugs and sockets.
Manufacturers and importers must submit a Declaration of Conformity (DoC) and follow conformity assessment procedures to market products in Argentina. Beginning October 1, 2025, conformity markings—including the Conformity Seal and a QR Code—must be displayed on the product or its primary packaging.
