Scott,
There is an article in "Conformity" Vol. 3 No. 9 September 1998 page 12
which gives some more detail. It mentions Argentinean Ministry of
Industry, Commerce, and Mining has issued Resolution No. 92 covering
low-voltage (up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC) equipment sold in Argentina.
Things such as Declaration of Conformity , IEC based standards, and a final
stage phase-in in the year 2000. FYI - John Loiselle ... my own opinion,
views, two cents, etc.

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.

and on another page:

Again, I don't' tread Spanish so was winging it here. FWIW.
