BIS CRS Certification for LED Lighting Chains - IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 7): 2017: Process, Documents & Requirements

LED lighting chains can be found in many applications, such as festive decoration, weddings, commercial displays, architectural lighting, and many other decorative applications. These products might seem like standard products, but they include electrical wiring, LED lights, connections, and a control/power supply arrangement in many cases; therefore, electrical safety is an important compliance issue.

The LED Lighting Chains are regulated by the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) under IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 7): 2017 Luminaires: Part 5. Particular Requirements: Section 7 Lighting Chains (First Revision). This product is officially listed in the BIS CRS database with the implementation date on 23 May 2018.

It is different from BIS ISI certification, as product testing is carried out in a BIS-recognised laboratory, and the manufacturer receives a registration number from BIS prior to introducing covered products to the Indian market. The definition of CRS is as given by BIS itself in Schedule II of BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, as Scheme II.

At UMSPCS, we aid the manufacturers, brand owners & eligible foreign manufacturers to facilitate product assessment, co-ordination of laboratories, documentation, testing, and BIS CRS Certification for LED Lighting Chains.

The BIS CRS standard database currently lists IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 7):2017 / IEC 60598-2-20:2014 for LED Lighting Chains.

Hence, manufacturers should check their product's scope and should make sure they are fulfilling all the required BIS registration procedures prior to commercial supply to India.
