Hi Charlie, To my knowledge, none of the standards you listed are mandatory in Uruguay at this time. There is no compulsory product certification for ITE, and no national mark is required. Uruguay has no national testing agencies, so they rely on testing done by foreign agencies. If your product is compliant with applicable FCC regs (or CE regs) and carries an NRTL or other agency certification mark, you should have no problems clearing customs and placing the equipment into service.
If your device is a wireless network device, you will need to apply for a one-time categoric exemption to: Dirección Nacional de Comunicaciones Boulevard Artigas, 1520 Casilla de Correo 927 Montevideo 11600, Uruguay The application should include a letter explaining the product's compliance with applicable FCC or ETSI regs. A copy of test reports, certificates, FCC grants, etc., will help speed processing of the application. You must have a local representative. Generally all products using the same frequency band and technology (such as 802.11 access points and terminals) are included in each exemption granted. There is a good article on WI-FI approvals in Latin America in the Compliance Engineering archives: http://www.ce-mag.com/ARG/Eroglu.html Hope this helps.
