Hi Group, I have been poking around the web site for IRAM - Instituto Argentino de Normalizacion. This can be reached via the Safety Link site www.safetylink.com. Go to the Product Safety Resources area and find IRAM.
>From what I can gather, IRAM is sort of like a UL for Argentina. They research and write standards and apparently "certify?" products. I did not get to any point that I could tell was the source of the requirement for compliance. That is from Resolution 92 issued by the Ministry of Industry and Interior Commerce. I did find the part in IRAM's site that lists what is covered (I think) and it looks like they use something equivalent to IEC 950. I could not tell if there are national deviations or any other information. Since the site is entirely in Spanish I was lucky to find what I did. Perhaps one of you out there can read Spanish and would make this a little more clear for the rest of us. I clipped a pair of snippets form two different areas and they are pasted below. >ELECTRÓNICA > ACÚSTICA Y ELECTROACÚSTICA > APARATOS ELECTRÓNICOS > EQUIPAMIENTO DE TECNOLOGÍA DE LA INFORMACIÓN > EQUIPAMIENTO ELECTROMÉDICO > EQUIPOS DE AUDIO Y VIDEO > INCUBADORAS > MEDIDORES DE VELOCIDAD DE TRÁNSITO DE >VEHÍCULOS > RESPIRADORES > SISTEMAS DE ALARMAS > > EQUIPAMIENTO DE TECNOLOGÍA DE LA INFORMACIÓN > and on another page: > > IRAM.
