    What Are the Testing Requirements for Plasma/LCD/LED TV up to 32 Inches?

    Testing is dependent on the standards being applied and the television configuration.

    The safety evaluation is based on the electrical safety assessment, insulation assessment, heating assessment, construction assessment, mechanical strength assessment, abnormal operation assessment, fire safety assessment, and marking requirements, according to IS 616: 2017.

    The applicable requirements according to IS 18112:2025 are relevant to the digital television receiver, such as the digital television receiver's relevant specifications and technical performance requirements.

    To prevent unnecessary re-testing, a proper product and configuration review prior to testing is recommended.

    How Long Does BIS CRS Registration Take for Plasma/LCD/LED TV up to 32 Inches?

    The overall project schedule relies on the laboratory testing, sample readiness, documentation, and BIS scrutiny and query solution.

    According to BIS, the processing time for granting registration is 20 working days; however, this is not the same as the total duration of the test to grant registration. The overall process can be lengthened due to delays in testing, lack of documentation, and answers to queries.

    • A product configuration from the user was submitted that was incorrect for testing.

    • A Critical Component List that has not been completed.
    • Failure to have brand authorisation documents on hand.
    • Test report discrepancies
    • Product or model information is incorrect.
    • Incomplete technical documents
