I would like to point out that UL's Summer 1998 Issue of "On the Mark" (Page 19) discusses Argentina's new regulations and UL services for obtaining Argentine approval. Please be aware that the Argentine system is still in a state a flux, as they are going through a "shake down" period for implementation, etc.

Would one our readers associated with CSA investigate this agreement and report back to us? > ---------- > From: [email protected][SMTP:[email protected]] > Reply To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, September 18, 1998 8:58 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Argentina Approvals 2 > > Hi Group, > > I have been poking around the web site for IRAM - Instituto Argentino de > Normalizacion.
