BIS CRS Certification for Fixed General Purpose LED Luminaires - IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012

A modern-day LED luminaire may seem like just a lighting equipment product, but it is made in such a way that electrical considerations, thermal considerations, mechanical considerations, and even safety considerations play a crucial role in the safety of consumers.

It is because of this reason, the manufacturing companies and importer companies of fixed general purpose LED luminaires cannot consider regulatory compliance as a minor formality. In India, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) requires BIS Certification for Fixed General Purpose LED Luminaires, where the product is certified against IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012.

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has included Fixed General Purpose LED Luminaires in Scheme II (Registration Scheme), and the BIS Uniform Test Report Format page certifies the product against IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012.

For the manufacturers and importers, this means that the correct planning of product testing, documentation, registration, and even compliance with the appropriate marking is necessary.

UMSPCS provides comprehensive assistance for end-to-end BIS CRS Certification for electronic products, including product evaluation, laboratory coordination, documentation, application assistance, and registration assistance.

Why Is BIS Certification Required for LED Luminaires?

LED lighting systems are electrical devices that require proper design and manufacture to ensure safety features that would protect from hazards like electrical shock, overheating, insulation breakdown, mechanical failure, and fires.

The BIS CRS provides a statutory framework within which notified electronic and electrical equipment are evaluated against relevant Indian Standards prior to registration.

For business entities, getting the BIS Certification in India will facilitate compliance with the relevant Indian Standard and hence ensure legal entry into the marketplace of relevant products.

Under the BIS certification process, manufacturers have to provide samples of the products that have been tested in laboratories recognised by BIS. According to the BIS Rules, registration is required for every manufacturing plant for notified articles, but test reports should comply with the prescribed requirements.

Which Products Fall Under IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012?

The

Some examples of the products would be the LED luminaire that is fixed and meant for general-purpose lighting and includes the following:

  • LED battens
  • Surface-mounted LED luminaires
  • Fixed indoor LED luminaires
  • Fixed general-purpose LED ceiling luminaires
  • Other fixed general-purpose LED luminaires which fall under the scope

BIS's CRS FAQs have made specific mention of LED luminaires like battens and surface-mounted luminaires under the category of Fixed General Purpose Luminaires.

But one must not decide the classification of the product based solely on its marketing name. It must first be determined if the construction, use, electrical arrangement, and standard apply to the product.

A Critical Regulatory Point: 2012 Standard and Current Updates

Those businesses handling this type of product must take note of the particular version of the standard.

The BIS is now listing IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2026, which has been labelled as “Second Revision” under its laboratory information system. On the other hand, the BIS still maintains its publication on recognized laboratory scopes and test report formats related to IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012.

It becomes necessary to find out the particular version that applies to the particular application prior to conducting tests.

UMSPCS can help businesses conduct such a regulatory analysis before submitting samples to the lab.

Key Technical Requirements Under the Standard

Conformity is not only concerned with the verification of the correct operation of an LED luminaire. Testing involves various safety-related parameters.

Based on the product and the test scope, important aspects under consideration include:

  • General Requirements of the Test
  • Marking
  • Construction
  • Creepage Distances and Clearances
  • Earthing
  • Terminals
  • External and Internal Wiring
  • Protection against Electric Shock
  • Endurance and Thermal Tests
  • Dust and Moisture Protection
  • Insulation Resistance and Electrical Strength
  • Heat, Fire and Tracking Resistance

BIS laboratory test listing for IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 1):2012 covers testing aspects such as marking, construction, creepage and clearances, earthing, terminals, wiring, protection against electric shock, endurance and thermal tests, dust and moisture protection, insulation and electrical strength, heat, fire and tracking resistance.

Basic Eligibility Requirements for BIS CRS Certification

Before beginning the application process, the following must generally be ensured:

  • The product belongs to the notified CRS category.
  • The right Indian Standard has been found.
  • The manufacturing unit has been specified.
  • Product models and variants have been determined.
  • Available product samples have been made.
  • Critical components have been listed.
  • Test reports can be obtained from BIS-recognized laboratories.
  • Technical documents tally with the product.
  • Manufacturer and factory data can be backed up by valid documents.
  • Required declarations and assurances can be submitted.
  • For foreign manufacturers, the requirement for an Indian Representative has been fulfilled.

According to the BIS guidelines for registrations, the product samples need to be tested by BIS-recognized laboratories, and the test report needs to be made in the name of the actual manufacturer with manufacturing-unit details included.

BIS CRS Certification Process: From Product to Registration

The registration process of BIS CRS is a systematic process in which the products are checked against the relevant Indian standards before they can enter the Indian market.

Step 1: Determining Product Classification

It is essential to know the risk classification of the product as per the CDSCO Medical Devices Rules, 2017.
Things to Remember:
  • It is essential to identify the risk class of the device: Class A, B, C, or D
  • Identify the regulatory and licensing pathway that can be followed
  • Check the use and classification of the device

    • Step 2: Preparing Documents

    Collect all necessary documents for the CDSCO application.
    Things to Remember:
  • Device Master File (DMF)
  • Plant Master File (PMF)
  • ISO 13485 Certification
  • Technical Specifications
  • Test Reports and Technical Documents

    • Step 3: Application Preparations

    It is important to prepare the application as per the CDSCO rules by providing all necessary information about the medical device and its manufacturer.
    Things to Remember:
  • Complete the relevant application forms
  • Provide information about the product
  • Information about the manufacturing site
  • Review and verify all supporting documents

    • Step 4: Online Application Filing

    Submit the completed application through the CDSCO SUGAM Portal along with the relevant documents and applicable government fees.
    Points to Consider
  • Submission of all relevant documents.
  • Submission of the applicable government fees.
  • Application submission through online portal.
  • Final verification of submitted application details.

    • Step 5: Review and Evaluation of the CDSCO Application

    The CDSCO evaluates the submitted application.
    Points to Consider:
  • Evaluation of submitted documents.
  • Technical evaluation of the device.
  • Evaluation of the test report and compliance information.
  • Inspection of the facility wherever necessary.

    • Step 6: Grant of the CDSCO Licence

    The grant of the relevant CDSCO license after completion of the evaluation process.
    Points to Consider:
  • Grant of the relevant CDSCO license.
  • Authorization for the manufacture of the device in India.
  • Compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements for marketing of the device in India.
  • Continued adherence to post-licensing requirements.

    • Documents Required for BIS CRS Certification

    The specific set of documents can differ from one applicant to another, depending on the product configuration and the current requirements of BIS. Typically, the documents that are needed are:
    • Form MD 40
    • TR 6 Challan
    • Power of Attorney
    • Device Master File
    • Letter of Covering
    • Plant Master File
    • Quality Assurance Certificate
    • Conformity Declaration
    • Letter of Covering
    • Certificate of Incorporation
    • Approvals

    The official process of registration of BIS clearly states the need for application forms and government documents regarding the establishment of the manufacturing plant for foreign manufacturers.
