BIS CRS Certification for Visual Display Units - IS 13252 (Part 1): 2010

Many offices, homes, control rooms, retail stores, security systems, schools, and commercial places use Visual Display Units (VDUs) and video monitors. These products are electrical and electronic equipment, and their construction and safety requirements have to comply with the applicable Indian regulatory requirements prior to placing them on the market.

Under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), BIS CRS Registration under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 - Information Technology Equipment Safety Part 1: General Requirements is one of the important compliance requirements for the covered Visual Display Units. The official product list for BIS also contains Visual Display Units and Video Monitors as per IS 13252 (Part 1):2010. BIS also provides a separate listing for Visual Display Units and Video Monitors up to 32 inches under the same standard.

UMSPCS offers complete solutions for the BIS CRS Certification for Visual Display Units, ranging from product applicability assessment, lab coordination, documentation, review of test reports, and filing of the application all the way to BIS registration support.

What Is BIS CRS Certification for Visual Display Units?

BIS CRS Certification means the process of registration carried out by the Bureau of Indian Standards' Compulsory Registration Scheme for notified EWPs (Electronic and IT products).

The current Indian Standard for Visual Display Units, referred to by BIS, is IS 13252 (Part 1): 2010 - Safety requirements for information technology equipment. The information given in BIS's CRS material lists Visual Display Units and Video Monitors for this standard.

The standard not only checks display quality or resolution but also safety requirements for the equipment.

The scope that applies will depend on:

  • Product type
  • Screen size
  • Electrical configuration
  • Product construction
  • Intended application
  • Model and brand

As a result, the actual product scope of the products must be confirmed by manufacturers before starting the CRS application.

    Conclusion

    BIS CRS Certification for Visual Display Units of IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 for the covered display products is a crucial requirement to be met before entering into the Indian market.

    It includes the right product scope identification, choosing the right laboratory recognised by the BIS, product testing, preparing proper and consistent documentation, and obtaining BIS registration.

    The current regulatory landscape also represents the transfer of various electronic and IT product types to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023, as per Interim CRS information from BIS, and the current in-play of the Visual Display Units and Video Monitors (VDU) under IS 13252 (Part 1): 2010. The transition provisions and the existing registration requirement should therefore be taken into account by manufacturers when planning new products.
