Argentina is updating its safety regime on certain auto parts by requiring exporters and importers to first obtain an “approval certificate” for certain safety elements, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council said in an Oct. 10 report. Traders must apply for the certificate through Argentina’s government and applications are subject to review by the country’s National Institute of Industrial Technology, the report said. Certificates granted on the basis of “certification licences issued by certification bodies recognised by the United Nations” will be valid for two years and may be renewed, the report said. Other certificates granted “on the basis of certification licences issued by … an institution accredited by Argentinean authorities” will be valid for the duration of the license, HKTDC said.
