Overview

  • Resolution 313/2025 was published on August 13 in the Boletín Oficial and takes effect the following day for lighters, sunglasses, children’s bicycles, toys and wood-derived panels.
  • The government will accept internationally recognized safety certifications to eliminate repeated domestic testing and accelerate import approvals.
  • Officials estimate the overhaul will cut more than 12,000 annual administrative procedures, reducing costs and advancing the Milei administration’s deregulation agenda.
  • Certificates issued under previous rules remain valid for up to 12 months, with new conformity periods set at one year for lighters and toys and four years for sunglasses.
  • Product-specific obligations endure, including IRAM 3980 and ISO 9994 compliance for lighters with Spanish warnings and conformity marks, mandatory technical labeling for children’s bicycles and formaldehyde-emission limits with batch details for wood panels.
