Batteries

Primary batteries: updated Argentine compliance requirements

Joint Resolution 1/2026 establishes technical specifications and conformity-assessment procedures for primary batteries covered by Law 26,184, including batteries installed in equipment. Resolution 443/2020 was repealed; existing certificates retain their stated validity subject to applicable surveillance.

Which products require review?

Scope depends on chemistry, form factor and intended use. The annex covers specified non-rechargeable batteries and expressly excludes primary lithium batteries, rechargeable batteries and certain other cases. Batteries fitted in equipment may also be subject to requirements.

How GROLL helps

We assess regulatory scope, restricted-metal content, marking, test evidence and certificates; prepare technical documentation; and support the relevant declaration of conformity and regulatory filings.

Send us battery chemistry, form factor, brand, manufacturer, technical sheets, available test reports and information on devices containing the batteries.

Legal framework: Law 26,184 and Joint Resolution 1/2026, as applicable.
