Thought for the Week

— Esther Dyson

Argentina: Codification

In Argentina Codification is similar to Homologation. It is a permission granted by the CNC, allowing the commercialization of a certain equipment in those cases where no CNC standards exist for the particular product. For Codification no in-country testing is performed, unless specifically required by the CNC. However, a technical file must be submitted to the CNC for the Codification
