What is BIS Certification for Notebook/Tablet PC?

BIS Certification for Notebook/ Tablet PC is a compulsory product certification that falls under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The certificate verifies that the product satisfies the safety specifications set out in IS 13252 (Part 1): 2010 that is grounded on internationally recognized safety principles for Information Technology Equipment.

All products that fall under this scheme must undergo testing in a BIS-approved laboratory for the manufacturer to acquire the Registration Certificate. Thereafter, the manufacturer is permitted to affix the BIS Standard Mark together with the Registration Number to the registered product.

The certification guarantees that the notebooks and tablets computers being marketed in India satisfy safety electrical requirements and minimize hazards like electric shock, fire, heating and other electrical dangers.

Understanding the BIS CRS Scheme

The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) is a regulation scheme initiated by the Government of India to ensure the safety of electronic products or IT products being imported into the country.

The following are the features of the CRS:

Testing of products is carried out in laboratories certified by BIS
Registration of the manufacturer is done by BIS
Registration is done for each and every manufacturing plant separately
Each product type should meet the standards laid down in the Indian Standard

It is not possible to sell such products in India without proper registration from BIS under CRS.

Why IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 is Mandatory for Notebook and Tablet PCs

IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 details the safety criteria for Information Technology Equipment. This includes electrical, thermal, mechanical, and fire hazards that can occur as a result of the use of electronic equipment.

Notebook PCs and Tablet PCs are common in residential areas, educational institutions, offices, health centers, and government buildings. As these products rely on electrical power for functioning and can be connected to the source for long durations of time, adherence to safety standards becomes necessary.

Some of the safety issues that are taken care of under this standard include:

Electric shock protection
Insulation
Temperature levels
Mechanical strength
Fire resistance
Safety of components
Construction
Power supply protection
Durability and stability
Safety for users during normal use

Adhering to this standard considerably lowers the risks related to electronic products.

Products Covered Under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010

The below-mentioned items usually come within the purview of this Indian Standard (BIS Notifications notwithstanding):

Notebook Computers
Laptop Computers
Tablet PCs
Hybrid Notebook Units
Convertible Laptops
Learning Tablets
Business Notebooks
Consumer Notebook PCs
Professionals' Tablet Computers
Portables (covered under the notified category)

Manufacturers must check the precise applicability of their product specification(s) before going for registration.
