BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) - Overview

The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), established by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), aims to support the rapidly growing electronic and IT sectors while protecting Indian consumers from substandard and counterfeit products. The BIS CRS scheme ensures that only quality-assured and safe electronic products are allowed in the Indian market, thus enhancing consumer protection and industry standards.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) introduced the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirement for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2012, establishing the BIS-CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) under BIS Scheme II.

The BIS CRS Scheme aims to protect Indian consumers from substandard and counterfeit electronic and IT products. Under this scheme, manufacturers must obtain a BIS certification for electronic products to display the Standard Mark along with a unique registration number on their products, demonstrating compliance and authenticity. A total of 73 products have been notified under this order by four ministries - the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, and the Ministry of Textiles.

The BIS CRS certification is based on a self-declaration by manufacturers conforming to their compliance with Indian standards. It is governed by Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. According to the Ministry's Compulsory Registration Orders, no goods can be manufactured, imported, stored, sold, or distributed in India unless they bear the BIS CRS Mark with a unique registration number.

BIS Certification Process for Electronic and IT Products

The process of BIS Registration under Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronics and IT products are given below.

Identify the Applicable Indian Standard (IS): The specific Indian Standard that applies to your product. The BIS website lists standards for various electronic and IT products.

Testing Facility: Send your product to a BIS-recognized laboratory for testing. The lab will test the product against the relevant Indian Standard and provide a test report.

Evaluation: BIS evaluates the application and the submitted documents. If everything is in order, BIS will proceed with the registration process.

Grant of License: Once the evaluation is complete, BIS grants the registration certificate. This certificate authorizes the manufacturer to use the Standard Mark (BIS Mark) and the unique registration number on their products.

Marking the Products: After obtaining the BIS registration, manufacturers must ensure that the Standard Mark and unique registration number are clearly marked on each product, its packaging, or both.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who can apply for CRS?

Manufacturers or factory owners producing products that fall under the ambit of the Compulsory Registration Order (CRO) notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) or the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) can apply for CRS.

What are the steps involved in the BIS registration process?

The registration process involves obtaining login credentials, generating a test request, submitting a sample to an approved laboratory, and applying on the BIS portal once the laboratory releases the test report online.

How can a manufacturer generate a test request and select an approved laboratory?

To generate a test request, manufacturers need to log in using their credentials and enter the required sample details. They can then select any approved laboratory from the available list. Once the laboratory confirms, the manufacturer can print the test request containing a QR code. If the selected laboratory is unavailable, another approved laboratory can be chosen.

What is the process for applying for inclusions under the CRS?

Manufacturers can log in using existing credentials and follow the same steps outlined for generating a test request and selecting an approved laboratory. Upon receiving information from the laboratory, they must apply online, referencing the test report. Additionally, manufacturers need to submit an undertaking regarding conformity declaration, pay the applicable fee through the online gateway, and generate the inclusion ID. Any changes to existing details, such as name, address, or Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), will require additional fees and supporting documentation.

How can a manufacturer apply for renewal of the BIS CRS certificate?

To renew a BIS CRS certificate, manufacturers must log in with their credentials, complete the online renewal application, and upload the necessary documents. The required renewal fee must be paid to generate a receipt. Once renewed, the manufacturer can download the new renewal certificate.

What is the validity of a BIS CRS certificate?

The BIS CRS certificate is initially granted for two years. It must be renewed every two years to maintain its validity.

What products are covered in the BIS CRS Scheme?

The BIS CRS Scheme covers 76 product categories, including smartwatches, laptops, digital cameras, wireless microphones, printers, set-top boxes, wireless keyboards, and power banks. These products require mandatory BIS registration. The list includes 63 products added by MeitY, five by MNRE, and eight by MHIPE.

Do I need separate licenses for products made under different brands or at multiple locations?

Yes, licenses depend on the product, brand, and manufacturing location: If the product is the same but sold under different brands, each brand needs separate registration. However, if the product and manufacturing location are the same, multiple brands can share a common test report. If the same product is made at different locations, separate test reports and BIS licenses are required for each manufacturing site, even if the manufacturer is the same.
