This seems a bit strange. As I understand it, Argentina is a 230V
country. Typically, manufacturers obtain UL listing only for 120V
models, unless the power supply ranges from 110-240V. I would think
that for 230V ITE products with no UL listing, either a CB Certificate
to IEC 60950 or GS/TUV Certificate to EN 60950 would suffice, both of
which are virtually identical to UL 1950 for ITE.

>We have a customer who has been shipping product to Argentina for some
time with no problems, however, they now have a shipment being held in
customs because they don't have a UL certificate with the shipment.
According to the customs officials, a new law was passed last week which
requires UL approval. While the power supply on the equipment IS UL
approved, the equipment being shipped does not have a separate UL approval.
It is also not clear whether this "new law" is an Argentinian law or a
South American law. Does anyone have information on this "new law"?
