Factories that are located in North > and South America will be audited by IRAM and those located at other parts > of the world will be audited by CSA. The IFE will be based on CENELEC > Standard M6. Presently, the cost of an IFE conducted by IRAM is not > available. > > IRAM will charge US$700 for each model family for reviewing the CSA > Certification Record, CSA Certification Report or CSA CB Test Report. It > will take IRAM 5 weeks to issue the Compliance Certificate after they have > received the CSA documents, assuming that results of the IFE are acceptable. > > To assist CSA in preparing the necessary paper work for IRAM approval, > please provide us with the name of the manufacturer, type of product, model > no., CB Test Report (if available) and factory location. CSA will arrange > with IRAM to process the approval work and make available the Compliance > Certificate when IRAM has issued it. > > Note that presently industrial type equipment and appliances are required > to bear the mark of an organization accredited by Argentina. After June > 1999 electronic products are required to bear the mark of an Argentina > accredited organization. Therefore, before June 1999 electronic products > which do not bear any of the mark of an Argentina accredited organization > are permitted to be marketed in Argentina. The bottomline is that > electronic products which bear the CSA Mark are allowed to be sold in > Argentina until June 1999. > > For further details, please contact your nearest CSA representative. > > > > ---------------End of Original Message----------------- -------------------------- Ed Price [email protected] Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Systems San Diego, CA.
