Argentina's telecommunications equipment market is undergoing significant changes with a series of new regulations. If you plan to enter the Argentine market, understanding the latest ENACOM mandatory certification requirements is crucial. This guide will help you quickly grasp the core 2025 updates and practical points.
ENACOM stands for the National Communications Entity of Argentina. It is a mandatory compliance scheme for telecommunications and radio equipment. All devices connecting to Argentina's public telecommunications network or using radio frequency bands must obtain this certification.
Important Note: The regulatory authority has evolved, initially CNC, then AFTIC, and since 2015, unified under ENACOM management.
Core New Regulations for ENACOM Certification (H2 2025):
Detailed Interpretation & Impact of New Regulations:
Spectrum Expansion & New Device Access
ENACOM has continuously expanded available radio frequency bands, directly impacting new device design and certification.
1.New SRCEP System Bands: Resolution 928/2025 officially enables the 414-415 MHz and 424-425 MHz bands for Private Use Radio Link Concentration Systems.
2.5G Device Access & Testing Requirements:
·Per Resolution 2097/2023, devices supporting 5G NR can be approved in Argentina, specifically those using the n78 band (3300–3700 MHz).
·Test Report Acceptance: During transition periods or where no local authorized lab exists, ENACOM may accept foreign test reports (e.g., FCC, RED, ANATEL) or CoC from the country of origin.
·Wi-Fi 6E Band Allocation: Resolution 756/2023 officially allocated the 5925-7125 MHz band for Wi-Fi services, meaning Wi-Fi 6E devices can now be approved in Argentina, but for indoor use only.
Streamlined Certification Process：
ENACOM approved the new standard ENACOM-Q2-60.21 V24.1 via Resolution 1268/2024, significantly simplifying registration.
1.Automatic Retention of Registration Number: Equipment previously registered under old standards (e.g., CNT-Q2-60.10, CNT-Q2-60.11) will automatically retain their original registration numbers, saving manufacturers significant time and cost by avoiding retesting.
2.Reduced Technical Requirements: The new standard also eliminated certain technical requirements for home portable system stations and adjusted related measurement methods, further reducing compliance burdens.
Updated Certification Marks & Labeling
Marking requirements for devices have important updates; pay close attention to timelines.
1.New Conformity Certification Mark: The enforcement date for the new conformity certification mark, initially planned earlier, has been postponed to October 1, 2025, by Resolution 26/2025. The new mark must be placed visibly on the product or its primary packaging, be permanently affixed, and scanning its QR code should link to the Spanish conformity declaration.
2.RAMATEL Labeling Requirements: ENACOM has updated RAMATEL labeling requirements. If direct attachment is impossible, markings can be printed in the user manual, quick guide, or on the packaging.
Other Important Updates:
·Mobile Satellite Spectrum Redefined: Resolution 640/2025 redefined the mobile satellite spectrum (1990-2025 MHz Earth-to-space, 2170-2200 MHz space-to-Earth) to reduce interference with PCS.
·New Fixed Satellite Service Bands: Resolution 1188/2024 defined the 71-76 GHz (space-to-Earth) and 81-86 GHz (Earth-to-space) bands for fixed satellite services, currently accepting foreign test reports.
