CNC Certificate Certification Application Process:

1. Preparation of Materials and Application:

   - Clients need to prepare samples and documents, including but not limited to product specifications, technical manuals, product photos, production process flow, etc.

   - Fill in the application form, providing detailed product information and ensuring accuracy.

2. Commissioning a Certification Agency:

   - Choose and commission JJRLAB certification agency to provide agency services for Argentina CNC certification.

   - The JJRLAB certification agency will be responsible for reviewing application materials, organizing testing and evaluation, and communicating and negotiating with CNC on behalf of the applicant.

3. Product Testing and Evaluation:

   - The JJRLAB certification agency will arrange for product testing and evaluation after reviewing the application materials.

   - Testing and evaluation will include aspects such as electromagnetic compatibility, radio frequency, and safety performance of the product.

4. CNC Review and Issuance:

   - CNC will review the test report and issue the CNC certificate based on the review results.

   - The certification certificate is CNC ID, and the certificate is valid for 3 years.

Important Notes on CNC Certificate Certification:

1. Certificate Validity Period: The validity period of the CNC certification certificate is 3 years.

2. Technical Information: CNC certification may include some technical information, but specific content is not explicitly mentioned in the reference article.

3. Certificate Holder Requirements: The applicant needs to apply for type approval through a local agency, meaning the certificate holder needs a local agent or partner in Argentina.

4. Marking Requirements: Products certified by CNC need to affix the CNC Mark or CNC ID on the product according to the new regulations of Argentina CNC certification, Resolution Nº 82/2015.

5. Change of Information: According to the regulations enacted by the Argentine government on April 29, 2015, CNC may be replaced by AFTIC (Autoridad Federal de Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones), but as of the current time (2024), CNC remains the regulatory body for telecommunications and radio equipment in Argentina.
