On February 24, 2026, the Argentine National Communications Authority (ENACOM) adopted Resolution 57/2026 to modernize its type approval system, replacing decades-old regulations (729/80 and 784/87).

Major technical and procedural changes:

• Third-Party Certification: The certification process will be managed by accredited certification bodies and laboratories. These agencies will issue the certificate of conformity required for RAMATEL registration;
• Permanent Registration: New approvals issued under this framework will no longer expire. Instead, a market supervision system will be implemented to ensure ongoing technical compliance;
• Digital technology application: All workflows will be fully transitioned to the HERTZ system by the implementation date;
• Transition period: The new RAMATEL regulations will come into full force on September 1, 2026, and applications until then will still follow the existing rules that are valid for 3 years. After September, all new applications must comply with the new third-party certification model.
