ENACOM requires approval of telecommunications equipment that connects to the public network and all radio transmitters.ENACOM requires approval for most telecommunication line terminal equipment. Products that utilize technologies such as Radio Frequency, Cellular, or Satellite require ENACOM type approval and certification to be commercialized in Argentina. Most products require testing in Argentina, and typically one to three samples are needed depending on the device. Modular and System approval may be possible depending on the characteristics of the equipment.

Approval generally requires in-country testing and a local Argentinian applicant.

Compliance International can help you understand how the approval requirements apply to your telecom equipment products and help you complete ENACOM approval in Argentina.
