BIS CRS Certification Consultant for Electronic Products in India

While the Indian electronics market is growing rapidly, it is not easy simply to get into the market by manufacturing or importing a product, since certain electronic and IT products have to meet the mandatory BIS requirements if they are to be manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in India.

For manufacturers and importers, the entire CRS process, starting with determining the relevant Indian Standard and continuing through product testing, the preparation of technical documentation, filing an application, and responding to queries from BIS, can be difficult.

However, with some professional help, businesses will be able to simplify the whole process and get BIS CRS Certification in India much more easily.

We offer full-range assistance to businesses that are seeking a reliable BIS CRS Certification Consultant in India, helping them to deal with the testing, documentation, application, registration, and compliance requirements.

What Constitutes the BIS CRS Certification for Electronic Products?

The BIS CRS certification is a compulsory registration requirement set up by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) within the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), and it covers certain electronic and information technology products which must comply with the relevant Indian Standards before they are brought onto the Indian market.

Products that are covered by the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) must have them tested at a laboratory recognised by BIS and have to show compliance with the relevant Indian Standard; after the testing has been successfully completed and the registration obtained, the manufacturer is issued a BIS registration bearing a unique R-number.

The BIS CRS Certification of electronic products contributes to improving product safety, reliability, the protection of consumers, and compliance with the required quality standards in India's electronics industry.

Why is BIS CRS Certification Mandatory for Electronic Products?

BIS and MeitY have notified specific electronic and IT products under the Compulsory Registration Scheme. Manufacturers of these notified products must complete the applicable testing and registration requirements before placing them on the Indian market.

The CRS framework requires:      
  • Products to be tested at BIS-recognized laboratories.
  • Products to comply with the applicable Indian Standard.
  • Manufacturers to obtain BIS CRS registration before introducing covered products to the Indian market.
  • Registered products to follow applicable BIS marking and labelling requirements.

    FAQs: BIS Certification for Electronic Products

    Is it necessary for electronic products to have BIS CRS Certification in India?

     BIS CRS certification is a mandatory registration scheme introduced by BIS under MeitY for electronic and IT products, ensuring their safety and quality compliance in India.

    Look at the most recent BIS CRS product list and determine which Indian Standard applies according to your product specifications and intended use.

    BIS registration is a requirement if your product is subject to the mandatory CRS regulations before it is placed on the Indian market, whether through online platforms or not.

    BIS CRS is a conformity pathway based on registration and is mainly intended for certain electronic and IT products, whereas BIS ISI Certification applies to products that are included in the various BIS product certification schemes.

    Foreign manufacturers can apply for registration with the BIS CRS and might be required to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) in accordance with the relevant requirements.

    Manufacturers might be required to comply with the relevant BIS migration or transition requirements; for instance, those products governed by IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 are moving to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 in accordance with the applicable BIS migration rules.
