IRAM prepares the national positions before the respective technical committees of ISO and IEC (together with AEA). In close collaboration with Government, industry, consumers, technology and research it studies technical standards, which (when approved) are applied at national level on a voluntary basis - unless otherwise decided by a government authority, especially in the case of health and safety standards. IRAM represents the Argentine Republic in ISO, IEC, together with AEA (Argentine Electrotechnical Association), COPANT (Pan American Standards Commission) and AMN (Asociación Mercosur de Normalización). On 2 February 1995, IRAM signed an agreement with the Secretariat of Industry, which contains rights and obligations for both parties. The System consists of a National Council, the Argentine Accreditation Body (OAA) and the Argentine Standardization Body (IRAM). The present relationship between the Government and IRAM is defined in Presidential Decree 1474/94, approved in August 1994, which establishes the National System for Standards, Quality and Certification. Founded in 1935, it became a legal entity in 1937 and was shortly afterwards granted recognition by the Government as the Central Organization for the technical and scientific study of standards, with the object of developing and maintaining uniformity of systems and criteria. Asimismo, es de interés para la RAM la publicación de artículos de impacto regional.The Instituto Argentino de Normalización y Certificación (IRAM) is a private non-profit body. Con la finalidad de incluir los aspectos básicos de la investigación en el área, la Revista también considera para su publicación trabajos sobre genómica, proteómica y enzimología de microorganismos y parásitos. La RAM también publica artículos sobre ecología microbiana y diversidad, zoo y fitopatógenos y sobre microorganismos de interés alimentario, agrícola, industrial y ambiental. Los temas de interés especial incluyen las infecciones causadas por bacterias, hongos, parásitos, virus y agentes infecciosos no convencionales, mecanismos de patogenicidad, factores de virulencia y respuesta inmune asociada a los agentes infecciosos, resistencia a los agentes antimicrobianos, taxonomía, epidemiología y métodos diagnósticos fenotípicos, inmunológicos y moleculares, entre otros. La Revista Argentina de Microbiología es una publicación trimestral editada por la Asociación Argentina de Microbiología y destinada a la difusión de trabajos científicos en las distintas áreas de la Microbiología y la Parasitología. With the purpose of covering basic aspects of research in the area, the journal is also interested in the publication of manuscripts on microorganism genomics, proteomics and enzymology, as well as in those articles dealing with regional impact. RAM also publishes articles on microbial ecology and diversity, zoo- and phytopathogens and microorganisms of value for food, agronomic, industrial and environmental applications. Some of the topics considered of special interest are: infections caused by bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses mechanisms of pathogenicity, and virulence factors resistance to antimicrobial agents taxonomy epidemiology and phenotypic, immunologic and molecular diagnostic methods. The aim of this journal is to publish current scientific works in the different areas of Microbiology and Parasitology. Revista Argentina de Microbiología is published by the Asociación Argentina de Microbiología (AAM) on a quarterly basis.
