Gents and Ladies,
I would like your input on the exact requirements of the subject resolution
to ITE office products. We have multiple inkjet and laser printers certified
in Argentina under the most recent requirements, viz. tendering of a CB Report
with product sample if requested. Our people there are using IRAM as their
agency of choice.
I am being informed that in the near future our certified products must bear
both the IRAM safety mark (inverted triangle containing "IRAM") and the
"Republica Argentina S" mark (rather like a circular target with large S
in the middle). I am also informed that IRAM must now inspect every factory
that builds printers for marketing under our logo in Argentina.
It is difficult to obtain information on these new requirements that do not
read like a typical legal document. The best I've seen so far is that on
UL's website, which does describe the need for a recognized product
certification mark under Phase III of the resolution. It does not mention a
need for multiple Argentina marks.
Nowhere have I found reference to mandatory factory inspections by IRAM or
other OAA (official gov't body) designated agencies. This seems a bit of
overkill, if true, as all of our supplier factories are already under follow-
up services from UL, CSA, and TUVR (or other GS mark issuing agency).
Thanks in advance for any insight you may offer regarding Res. 92/98!
