Caveat - I have done only one Argentine project - so am NOT an expert. 1. Am not certain about "utilize their S-Mark". The end-user always 'use' the suppliers' agency marks and/or reports for components or subsystems as part of the end-use system submittal. When my employer's customers request a full report that will support a particular mark, I always send whatever is allowed to publish, so I do not understand why your suppliers what not provide a full safety data package to a big-name customer.
2. Typically no, but it can be done if they appoint you as their agent and they are subject to audits, etc. Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Knighten, Jim L Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 3:18 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Rowson, Stuart; Bridgman, Susan R Subject: Argentine S-Mark Questions I am unclear on some issues regarding the Argentine S-Mark (product safety) for ITE (data center computer equipment - no telecom). 1. If we are re-selling another manufacturer's product which already has the manufacturer's S-Mark (an example might be a Dell, or Intel server), is it possible to leverage the manufacturer's S-Mark for sales into Argentina. Is any action required on our part to satisfy the Argentine regulatory requirements, and if so, what? In other words, must we get permission from the S-Mark holder to utilize their S-Mark, and if so, what is the best way to do that? 2. If we are re-selling another manufacturer's product which DOES NOT have a manufacturer's S-Mark, what action must we take in order to meet the regulatory requirements in Argentina. Is possible to get an S-Mark for someone else's product (a CIG023 factory inspection seems to be normally required). I appreciate any enlightenment that you experts can shed on this matter.
