Argentina's S-Mark certification system underwent significant reforms between 2024 and 2025, introducing a new conformity mark and a revised conformity assessment framework. Below, we outline the key points you need to know using the latest information.

Argentina S-Mark Certification Overview & Core Changes:

Argentina's S-Mark certification is its mandatory safety certification system for electrical and electronic products. It covers equipment operating within AC 50-1000 volts or DC 50-1500 volts, ensuring market compliance with safety standards.

You should pay special attention to major updates made to the system in 2024-2025, summarized below:

  Detailed Interpretation of New Regulations:

1.New Conformity Mark & Requirements:

According to Resolution 237/2024 and subsequent amendments, the new conformity mark has these core requirements:

  ·Mark Style & Size: The new mark is allowed in monochrome or two colors. Official preferred dimensions are provided, but a specified minimum size version is allowed if product shape/size prevents using the preferred size.

  ·Mark Placement: Must be placed visibly on the product or its primary packaging and be indelible and permanently affixed under reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.

  ·QR Code Integration: The new conformity certification mark contains a QR code. Scanning this code must link to the product's Spanish Declaration of Conformity.

2.Declaration of Conformity & Process Changes:

  ·Declaration of Conformity: Per the new framework, the manufacturer, importer, or authorized Argentine agent must sign a Spanish Declaration of Conformity based on the product's valid certificate. This declaration ensures product compliance.

  ·Framework Simplification & Process Optimization: The new "General Conformity Assessment Framework" aims to streamline procedures by repealing multiple old regulations, eliminating redundancy and complexity. It also introduces remote procedures (TAD platform), allowing companies to submit certifications and other compliance documents digitally, simplifying the process and reducing delays.

  New Regulation Impact & Response Suggestions:

1.Mark Transition Schedule: Closely monitor the new October 1, 2025 mandatory deadline. Products must use the new conformity certification mark after this date.

2.Document & Language Preparation: Ensure the Spanish version of the Declaration of Conformity and other technical documents are prepared in advance, and verify the QR code links correctly to the declaration.

3.Utilize New Processes: Explore the new conformity assessment framework and the TAD digital platform, which may offer a more efficient certification experience.

4.Monitor Market Surveillance: The new framework strengthens market monitoring tools, requiring suppliers to report potentially dangerous products under a new early warning system.
