The notified Resolution approves the general conformity assessment framework applicable to the technical regulations issued by the Secretariat of Industry and Trade of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. This general framework includes provisions on, inter alia, conformity assessment bodies; conformity assessment procedures; conformity marking; specific procedures for accepting technical equivalence, adapting to the local market and allowing the entry of goods without right of use; and market surveillance. It revises and restructures existing legislation on conformity assessment, with a view to streamlining regulations, reducing state bureaucracy and facilitating trade. It makes the current system more flexible and expands the mechanisms provided for recognizing conformity assessment results, while introducing a change of approach for monitoring compliance that involves enhanced market surveillance. The general framework also establishes conformity marking requirements. Existing technical regulations that, at the time of publication of the measure, provide for certification systems in accordance with Technical Coordination Secretariat (SCT) G/TBT/N/ARG/458 - 2 - Resolution No. 197/2004, as repealed by the measure, are to be replaced by the equivalent certification schemes provided for in ISO/IEC 17067 (section 3.2.2.1 of the Annex).
