BIS CRS CERTIFICATION FOR ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS

INTRODUCTION

BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) – Overview

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), in partnership with the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, introduced the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) in 2012 to enhance the safety and quality of electronic and IT products in India. This initiative was created in response to the increasing number of low-quality, unsafe, and counterfeit electronic products entering the Indian market. By making registration mandatory, the CRS ensures that every manufacturer—whether domestic or foreign—tests their products as per Indian Standards before selling them in India. Obtaining BIS registration allows manufacturers to demonstrate product safety, boost customer trust, and comply with regulatory requirements, ultimately contributing to consumer protection and market transparency.

Under the BIS CRS scheme, manufacturers receive a registration certificate allowing them to use the Standard Mark along with a unique “R” number. This certification is based on the manufacturer’s self-declaration of conformity to Indian Standards. According to BIS regulations, no electronic product covered under CRS can be manufactured, sold, imported, or distributed without this registration and the CRS mark.

WHO CAN APPLY FOR BIS CRS REGISTRATION

The BIS CRS scheme was introduced for IT and electronic items, requiring BIS registration for anybody manufacturing electronic goods. BIS CRS registration is mandatory for both Indian manufacturers (having a manufacturing facility in India) and foreign manufacturers (having a manufacturing facility outside India). Registration will be approved after their product is tested at the BIS laboratory. Under the BIS CRS scheme, registration is granted by the BIS.

BIS CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR ELECTRONIC & IT PRODUCTS

The BIS Registration process under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronic and IT products involves the following steps:

1. Identify the Applicable Indian Standard (IS)
Determine the specific Indian Standard that applies to your product. The BIS website provides a detailed list of standards covering various electronic and IT items.
2. Testing Facility
Send your product to a BIS-recognized laboratory for testing. The laboratory evaluates your product based on the relevant Indian Standard and issues an official test report.
3. Application Submission
Submit your BIS registration application online through the BIS portal. Upload the test report along with required documents such as business registration proof, manufacturing process details, and the declaration of conformity.
