CONSIDERING:
That Article 12, paragraph b) of Law No. 22,802 Fair Trading Act delegates to the ex- SECRETARY OF COMMERCE the former Ministry of Economy, current Secretary of Technical Coordination of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION establishing security requirements shall comply with the products or services that are not governed by other laws.
That Article 5 of the No. 24,240 Consumer Protection Act provides that the products must be delivered in a way that used in normal or foreseeable conditions of use, present no danger to the health or safety of consumers.
That, in addition, Article 6 of Law No. 24,240 on Consumer Law provides that the products of which may pose a risk to health or the physical safety of consumers, must be traded or reasonable observance of the established rules to ensure security thereof.
That Article 41 of Law No. 24,240 on Consumer Law states that the National Enforcement Authority is the Secretariat for Industry and Commerce ex- ex-MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PUBLIC WORKS AND SERVICES, current Secretary of Technical Coordination of the Ministry of ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION.
That through Resolutions Nos. 92 dated February 16, 1998, 851 dated December 11, 1998, 404 dated June 16, 1999, 896 and 897 dated December 6, 1999, the former Department of Industry, Trade and Mining of ex- Ministry of Economy and Public Works and Services, and Resolutions Nos. 77 dated 22 June 2004 and 91 dated July 29, 2004, the Technical Coordination and the Ministry of Economy, regulations of Laws Nos PRODUCTION. 22,802 and 24,240, have been established Compulsory Certification schemes for various products.
Secretary of Technical Coordination of the Ministry of Economy and Production, as Enforcement Authority Compulsory Certification Schemes mentioned above, is able to assess the technical and legal requirements of such schemes.
In the same vein, the National Directorate of Domestic Trade Undersecretary of Defense CONSUMER, under the Technical Coordination of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION, given the difficulties of implementation of the Certification System for Conformity Mark observed in the development of various certification schemes Product Safety established under Laws Nos. 22,802 and 24,240, has undertaken the study of these systems and proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (International Organization for STANDARDIZATION- ISO) in the Operating Principles and Practices Certification, recommended by Resolution No. 19 of 25 June 1992 GROUP Common Market (MERCOSUR), in order to assess the feasibility of establishing optional use of other certification systems in the aforementioned arrangements, the basic condition of compliance with the minimum conditions of safety products involved in these processes Compulsory Certification, identification of certified products and the possibility of implementing the control and monitoring thereof.
That conclusion of the studies, the National Directorate of Domestic Trade Undersecretariat of consumer protection, under the Ministry of Technical Coordination MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION recommends to the Technical Coordination of the Ministry of Economy and Production, as general criteria for all certification schemes, set the choice of certification system used by the manufacturer or importer domiciled in the country, including Certification Systems Nos 4, 5 or 7, recommended by Resolution No. ° 19/92 GROUP COMMON MARKET (MERCOSUR), for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the essential safety requirements.
That conclusion is based, among other things, on the good experience gained in implementing the certification scheme called Product Safety toys, established by Resolution No. 851/98 of the former Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Mining where the proposed election system is in force from the beginning of that regime.
The Type Certification System itself not only allows you to set any statement or claim on future production and therefore on the security of the respective products.
It is necessary to include additional evidence linking the product subject to initial type testing and subsequent production, so that the certification system referred to in the previous paragraph will ensure that the implementation under test conditions are maintained over time.
The System option No. 4, followed by type certification control (monitoring) consisting verification tests on the samples taken at the factory and trade, is only applicable to the extent that the characteristics of the product certified, allows the realization of such monitoring maintaining homogeneity and representativeness of the samples taken for this purpose.
That under the discussion in the preceding recital, the System option No. 4 is not advisable to apply for the certification scheme of the essential safety requirements of steel products used in concrete structures and metal structures construction, established by Resolution No. 404/99 of the former Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Mining of the former Ministry of Economy and Public Works and Services.
That products identified as Electrocomponentes installation materials and are made by the Certification System for Conformity Mark from 1 April 2001, in accordance with the timetable established in the Regulation No. 507 dated July 25, 2000, the National Directorate of Domestic Trade-dependent ex-SECRETARY OF COMPETITION AND CONSUMER the former Ministry of Economy.
The natural activities of the Certification Scheme by Mark of Conformity are functional characteristics presented mass production process and marketing of the products identified as installation materials and Electrocomponentes by Resolution No. 92/98 of the former SECRETARIAT INDUSTRY, TRADE AND MINING of the former MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PUBLIC WORKS AND SERVICES.
These mass characteristics noted in the case of other certification systems adopted, would require establishing an overly complex and costly specific market surveillance system.
On the other hand, to satisfy the requirements of the Certification Mark of Conformity for the products mentioned, responsible for production and marketing must make the necessary investments to achieve that objective, as established at the time the Resolution No. 92 / 98 of the former Secretariat of Industry, Trade and Mining of the former Ministry of Economy and Public Works and Services.
The need to ensure the maintenance of the initial conditions for certification of products covered by the different regimes Mandatory certification, regardless of a monitoring system for each particular market regime has been established.
It is necessary that consumers, as recipients of the products covered by Compulsory Certification Scheme, have an element that they can discern about the compliance of these products with the prescribed by the above schemes.
In this regard, it is useful to identify those products with a distinctive symbol.
That timely, in order to achieve this, the Resolution No. 799 dated October 29, 1999, the ex-Department of Industry, Trade and Mining of the former Ministry of Economy and Public Works and Services was issued where approved symbol used to identify the products, made by one of the arrangements Compulsory Certification, are certified by the Conformity Mark System (No. 7 System ISO), certifying compliance with the relevant requirements of security.
Taking into account the establishment of the free choice of certification system used by the manufacturer or importer, including Nos Certification Systems. 4, 5 or 7, recommended by Resolution No. 19/92 GMC GROUP Common Market (MERCOSUR), for the purposes of demonstrating compliance with the essential safety requirements, it is necessary to adapt the identifying symbol adopted, so that allows to recognize the time of purchase and the time of the audit, that the product is certified, as well as the certification system chosen.
The Directorate General of Legal Affairs of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION has taken action within its jurisdiction.
That should make use of the powers conferred by Articles 11 and 12, subsection b) of Law No. 22,802, Article 43, paragraph a) of Law No. 24,240 and Decrees Nos. 1283 dated May 24, 2003, 25 dated May 27, 2003 and 1359 dated October 5, 2004.
