Hi Larry-

This is a long complicated process.

The Argentina Approval Authority for telecommunication terminal equipment
is the Comision Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CNT).  The address for
Approval Authority is:

Comision Nacional de Telecomunicaciones (CNT)
Genrencia de Ingeniera (Area Homologacions)
Peru 103- Piso 14
Buenos Aires
ARGENTINA

Phone:  +541-347-9648
Fax: +541-347-9624

Residence Restriction:

by the equipment manufacturer or the mfr rep.  Prior to making an
application for equipment approval the mfr or rep must register with the
Argentina Dept of Justice at:

ARGENTINA

Phone:+541-312-2427
Fax:  +541-311-4011

Lanuage Requirments:

must be have a Spanish translation.

The following analog  equipment requires homologation:
Fax Machines

Auto Dialers do not require homologation


Argentina recognizes CISPR standards for EMC.  The agency which enforces
these standards is the CNT.  At this time the CNT recognizes lab results
from the CITEI del INTI

Centro de Investigacion de technologia Electronica e Infomatica (CITEI)
Instituto Nacional de technologia Industrial (INTI)
Av. Gral. Paz/Albarellos y. Av. de los Contituyentes
Miguelete C.C. 157 (1650) San Martin
Provencia de Buenas Aires
ARGENTINA
Phone:  +541-754-4145
Fax:  +541-754-5194

For Safety

The safety standards are those of the Instituto Argentino de
Racionalizacion de Materiales (IRAM).  ALl equipment that feed off the
public grid is subject to these standards.  The standards coincide with
IEC.  The Secretaria de Commercio (Dept. of Commerce) is responsible for
enforcement.  The CITEI del INTI is the only recognized lab.


I hope this helps.

If you need any other info or if there is a typo because most of this was
in Spanish let me know.  this information was provided via BHS
International Guide books for South America.  If you would like to obtain a
copy let me know.
