Argentina S-Mark certification, according to the resolution 92 / 98 which came into effect in 1998, Argentina implements S-Mark compulsory certification for electrical and electronic equipment with input voltage in the range of 50-1000 VAC AC or 50-1500 VDC DC. The resolution divides the products into four groups, which has been implemented step by step since 2001. By August 1, 2004, all products must obtain S-Mark certification to enter the Argentine market. Argentina is a member of the CB system, CB certificate and report are recognized, which can save a lot of trouble of repeated testing and sending samples. Argentina S-Mark safety certification does not need to arrange factory inspection, the applicant should provide Spanish name plate (including safety warning mark) and manual. Next to the S-Mark mark, the certification authority's logo should be added.

Certification category:
Electrical appliance applicants can choose the following certification methods at will:
A logo certification
B type approval
C batch certification
However, 198 / 2004 has compulsory certification requirements for some electrical and electronic products
Products with rated current greater than 63A
Rated voltage is less than 50V, battery power is used
Rated power less than 50V, with external power supply (including battery operation)
In addition, the following requirements must also be met:
The power supply must have valid Argentina certification
The technical parameters or model of the adaptive power supply must be marked in the product manual
It must be indicated in the product manual that it is dangerous to use non specified power supply
However, products below 50V are still compulsory certification requirements:
Use of lighting and lighting supply system on mains 50V AC
Dichroic lamp and lamp holder
