Core Product Scope of IRAM Certification:

According to Resolution No. 16/2025 effective in Argentina in 2025, electrical products requiring mandatory IRAM certification mainly cover the following four categories:

1.Power Supplies and Chargers: Such as power adapters, UPS (not exceeding 10kVA), etc.

2.Household Appliances: Including electric ovens, coffee machines, etc., as well as products like refrigerators and air conditioners that need to comply with new energy efficiency standards.

3.Lighting Equipment: Such as LED lighting equipment.

4.Electronic, Audio, and Video Equipment.

Additionally, it is worth noting that some new emerging categories were added to mandatory certification in 2025, including smart fitness equipment and vehicle-use lithium batteries. Meanwhile, smart devices (such as IoT devices, smart sockets) have added cybersecurity protocol requirements.

  Main IRAM Certification Standards & Test Items:

The technical standards on which IRAM certification is based are usually specified in IRAM, IEC, or EN standards. If multiple standards apply to a particular product, all must be complied with.

  Key 2025 New Regulations & Response:

1.Certification Mark Update: Starting October 1, 2025, the new version conformity mark with a QR code must be强制贴附 on the product or its primary packaging. Scanning this QR code should link to the Spanish Declaration of Conformity document.

2.Certificate Validity Adjustment: The new regulations provide a clearer division of certificate validity. For example, certificates for electronic and audio-video equipment are valid for 4 years, while certificates for other products are typically valid for 2 years.

3.Transition Period Arrangement: Certificates issued under the old regulations (Resolution No. 169/2018) will remain valid until February 26, 2026. Companies are advised to complete the transition to the new regulations before this date.
