Per Argentinean Resolution 731 issued 1987, Class I and Class II plugs ( both IRAM 2063 and IRAM 2073 plugs) must be marked with the following wordings. This is typically marked with a adhesive type label around the power cord adjacent to the plug.
Class I (grounded plugs)
IMPORTANTE PARA EL USUARIO
Los aparatos de la Clase I, poseen ficha de 3 espigas planas con toma de tierra, para aumentar su seguridad.
NO LA ELIMINE colocando un adaptador o reemplazando la ficha por otra de 2 espigas.
PARA SU SEGURIDAD, su instalación debe estar provista de conductor de tierra. De no ser así, realice la adecuación con personal especializado.
Class II Plug Wording:
IMPORTANTE PARA EL USUARIO
Los aparatos de la Clase II, que se identifican con el símbolo (double insulated square within a square symbol), poseen ficha de 2 espigas planas sin toma de tierra, pues poseen doble aislación o aislación reforzada en todas sus partes.
NO LA ELIMINE colocando un adaptador o reemplazando la ficha por otra de 2 espigas cilíndricas, ya que la misma es compatible con los tomacorrientes con toma de tierra.
PARA SU SEGURIDAD, su instalación debe estar provista de conductor de tierra. De no ser así, realice la adecuación con personal especializado.
English translation of the above
Class I Plugs
IMPORTANT FOR THE USER
Class I equipment, carries plugs with 3 flat pins with earthing contact, to increase their safety.
DO NOT REMOVE IT using an adaptor or replacing it with a plug of 2 pins.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, installation should be provided with an earthing conductor. If not, specialized personnel should be in charge of the adaptation.
Class II Plugs:
IMPORTANT FOR THE USER
Class II equipment, identified with the symbol (double insulated symbol square within a square), carries plugs with 2 flat pins without earthing contact, as they have double insulation or reinforced insulation in each of its parts.
DO NOT REMOVE IT using an adaptor or replacing it with another plug of 2 round pins, as the same one is compatible with earthing contact sockets.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, installation should be provided with an earthing conductor. If not, specialized personnel should be in charge of the adaptation.

Brazil and 902-928 Mhz Band (Anatel Resolution 365)
1. In Brazil within the frequency band 902-928 MHz, the sub-band 907.5-915 MHz
is only allowed for celular phones. No other equipment including RFID readers is allowed to operate in this band of frequencies and no exceptions.
2. RFID readers and other equipment are allowed to be opertated in the sub-bands
902-907.5 MHz and 915-928 MHz where there are no restrictions of use.
3. Frequency hopping is allowed in the bands 902-907.5 MHz and 915-928 MHz.
4. The number of channels is determined by the following rules:
a) If the bandwidth of channels is less than 250 kHz, it is necessary to use at least
50 hopping channels. Channels may be distributed between bands 902-907.5 MHz and
915-928 MHz. Bandwidth of channels should be measured at 20 dB.
b) If the bandwidth of channels is greater than 250 kHz, it is necessary to use at
least 25 hopping channels. Channels may be distributed between bands 902-907.5
MHz and 915-928 MHz. Bandwidth of channels should be measured at 20 dB.
c) For both a) and b) above, the average occupation time for any hopping channel
should be less than 0.4 seconds in an interval of 10 seconds.
d) Maximum bandwidth of hopping channels is 500 kHz.
e) Carriers of hopping channels must be spaced at least by 25 kHz or by the
bandwidth(at 20 dB) of hopping channels. The greater of these two values should
be used as minimum spacing.
5. For systems with number of hopping channels between 25 and 50, the maximum output
peak power level should be less than or equal to 0.25 watt. Systems with more
than 50 channels may have maximum output peak power levels less than or equal to 1
watt.
6. Systems may use antennas with gains below 6dBi with no alteration in power levels
mentioned above. If antennas with gains greater than 6 dBi are used, the maximum
peak power level must decreased by tha amount in dB which the antenna gain
exceeds 6 dBi.
It is not mandatory that all systems should use more than 50 hopping channels. Systems with at least 25 hopping channels are permitted, but with smaller maximum output power levels.

Malaysia ST and SIRIM Approvals
In Malaysia you have ST & SIRIM - these are 2 different authorities.
ST (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) or in English, Energy Commission is the regulatory
agency for electrical & electronic products. ST issues a Certificate of
Approval for products regulated under the Malaysian Electricity Supply Act.
Products regulated under this Act are not allowed to be placed in the Malaysian
market without prior approval from ST.
SIRIM QAS International is a testing and certification body. In addition to
the Certificate of Approval issued by ST, it is also mandatory that
all regulated products be certified under the Product Certification
Scheme (or Batch certification for imported product) and bear the SIRIM
labels before being placed in the Malaysian market.
1. First Step: Need an ST Approval or ST Release Letter (this is required so
importer does NOT face any problems to clear customs)
ST Approval: is only for Malaysian customs clearance of controlled products. Documentation only and no product inspection.
ST Release Letter: is to inform Malaysian customs that the product in the letter is *not controlled*.
Example: ITE power supply is not controlled and therefore ST Release letter is required.
2. SIRIM - All *controlled* products must be affixed with a SIRIM Mark label before selling in the Malaysian market. Manufacturer or importer has two options
A. SIRIM Batch Testing: After customs clearance, importer must
keep the products in their warehouse and apply to SIRIM
for product inspection. Sample will be selected for verification
test. Once approved, importer will be allowed to purchase labels and
affix on the products in their warehouse. This procedure is required for every
shipment reagardless of quantity
B. SIRIM Product Certification: Factory inspection will be done
by SIRIM or its' authorized representatives once a year. Once the factory is
cerified, manufacturer can purchase labels in advance and affix on the products
at the factory or during production. In this case, mporter can sell
the products to the market immediately after customs clearance

Argentina and 5KVA Rule in Resolution 76/2002
Resolution 76/2002
http://www.infoleg.gov.ar/infolegInternet/anexos/80000-84999/80800/norma.htm
Article 1 specifies the products under the scope of the mandatory approval. It also states that products with a power consumption of less than 5KVA have to be certified.
In Argentina, products with power consumption equal or higher than 5 KVA are excluded from the scope of the mandatory safety approval
