Dear Group:
Our company manufactures commercial food equipment designed primarily for 60 Hz applications and is, almost without exception, UL Listed. We also export this equipment to many countries around the world and many times it is modified to work at different voltages and at 50 Hz. The latter versions not being submitted to UL. We've just recently become aware of new product regulations in Argentina which require products to be designed and evaluated to IEC-based standards. Products marked with the "CE" symbol would seem to meet these new requirements. As few of our products have been designed to the IEC standards, our sales into Argentina will shortly be seriously impacted. Have any of you been involved in these regulations and, if so, how are you dealing with them? Are you aware of any effort to rescind or delay implementation of such? Thanks for any information you can share.
