On 11 June 2008, the Argentinean government issued a resolution to prohibit the sale, manufacture, importation or exportation of toys and childcare products made with plasticised materials containing di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) or benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) in concentrations exceeding 0.1 percent. In addition, the resolution banned the sale, manufacture, importation or exportation of children's toys and childcare articles that can be placed in a child's mouth if they contain diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) or di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP) in concentrations exceeding 0.1 percent. This ban was originally slated to enter into force on 9 September 2008 but the implementation date was later extended to 11 March 2009.

The resolution originally required imports of toys and childcare articles made of flexible materials to be accompanied by a technical report prepared by Argentina's Plastic Industry Centre for Research and Development (INTI-Plastics) confirming that those products did not contain any of the banned phthalates. Argentina's Health Ministry amended this requirement in May 2010 to allow conformity assessment bodies authorised by the Argentine Accreditation Body (Organismo Argentino de Acreditación - http://www.oaa.org.ar/200504/index.html) to certify toys and childcare products. Argentinean authorities issued another resolution on 13 January 2011 (Ministry of Health Resolution 2/2011) that will require importers to present a certificate of compliance with the phthalate requirements based on test results issued by a duly accredited laboratory, although that requirement will not enter into force until 180 working days from the date of recognition of the first conformity assessment body.

Argentinean authorities will initially recognise labs with a certain degree of testing experience and expertise for a maximum period of one year and will subsequently issue permanent accreditations. Meanwhile, importers will be required to present a (1) technical report issued by INTI-Plastics or (2) a sworn statement by the importer stating that the product complies with the phthalate requirements together with an INTI-Plastics notice stating that the importer has initiated the process to obtain the required technical report. In this last instance, the product will be allowed entry into Argentina but the importer will not be allowed to make use of it until the technical report has been issued.
