Why Is BIS CRS Certification Important for Your Business in India?
The Compulsory Registration Scheme is implemented by the Bureau of Indian Standards under the applicable Government Scheme for the products notified under the scheme. In case of products falling under the scope of CRS, it is mandatory for the manufacturers to get the conformity assessment with the related Indian standard and register the product with the BIS before its introduction into the Indian market.
Unlike BIS Scheme-I, where manufacturers receive a licence to use the ISI Mark, CRS is a registration scheme for notified products. Also get to know more about ISI Mark Certification.
BIS CRS Registration can help demonstrate:
- Fulfilment of the related Indian Standard.
- Meeting regulatory obligations (where applicable)
- Product safety and reliability.
- More trust by customers and distributors
- Preparation of the market’s needs.
- Compliance with the notified CRS framework:
Use of the BIS Registration Mark shall be followed by the relevant requirement after successful registration.
Does Your Product Require BIS CRS Registration?
Only electrical/electronic products that are subject to the provisions of the Electrical and Electronic Products Regulations are registered. The requirement varies as per the product being included in the notified list of products under CRS and the Indian Standard prescribed for the product. The list of Electronics and IT Goods under Scheme-II is maintained by BIS.
Before starting the registration process, businesses should identify:
- What item is being produced or imported?
- To which Indian Standard are you referring?
- Does the product fall under the scope of CRS?
- Which tests are required?
- What BIS-recognised laboratory should be used?
- Which manufacturer and/or product documents are needed?
- Does the foreign manufacturer need to be an Authorised Indian Representative?
When these requirements are properly identified at the outset, this can save the unnecessary testing and application issues.
