Sales certificates

The certification levels for albums until 2000 were 30,000 for gold and 60,000 for Platinum. Until 2004 were 15,000 for Gold and 30,000 for Platinum. Due to low sales, the levels were lowered in 2004 to 10,000 for Gold and 20,000 for Platinum. In 2007 the lower levels for international repertoire were introduced, requiring 5,000 units for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum, while the domestic levels remained unchanged. ASINCOL also certified music videos, with certification levels of 5,000 for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum.
