BIS CRS Certification for LED Luminaires for Emergency Lighting - IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec 8): 2026

The emergency lighting system is installed in a building to provide lighting during the breakdown of the usual lighting system so that people can move around and locate their way out of the building. It should be noted that, as an important safety measure, the construction, insulation, wiring, and operation of the luminaires should comply with the applicable standards.

The BIS CRS Certification for LED Luminaires for Emergency Lighting is under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme in India. The product is registered under the BIS CRS product list IS 10322. After that, BIS issued the new edition, IS 10322: 2026, Luminaires Part 5: Particular Requirements Section 8 Luminaires for Emergency Lighting.

There is a possibility that both editions of BIS, 2013 and 2026, will exist together until 2 August 2026. If manufacturers are planning certification projects for the 2026 standard, they should now reflect on the new 2026 standard.

The UMSPCS supports the product assessment, standard review, lab coordination, documentation, filing, and BIS registration of the CRS applications.

What Is BIS CRS Certification for LED Emergency Lighting Luminaires?

Registration is mandatory for some specific BIS CRS Certification for LED Luminaires for Emergency Lighting electronic products within India.
