BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) - Overview

The Bureau of Indian Standards and the Department of Electronics and Information Technology launched the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) in 2012, a testament to their commitment to protect Indian consumers from substandard and counterfeit electronic and IT products. This scheme mandates that all manufacturers of electronic and IT products must obtain a license from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) before releasing their products in the market. The BIS license assures consumers that products are safe and meet quality standards, reinforcing their value in the market.

Under the BIS CRS scheme the Bureau of Indian Standards issues a registration certificate that allows manufacturers to display a standard mark on their products with a unique registration number denoted by R. This certification is based on the self-declaration by the manufacturer that they comply with Indian Standards. The regulation of BIS licenses for electronic products is governed by the conformity assessment scheme specified in Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. The Ministry's Compulsory Registration Orders mandate that no goods can be manufactured, stored for sale, sold, imported, or distributed unless they meet Indian standards and bear the Standard Mark (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.

Application Submission: Submit the application for BIS registration online through the BIS portal. Along with the application, you must upload the test report and other required documents, such as business registration proof, manufacturing process details, and the declaration of conformity.

Documentation: Prepare and submit the necessary documents, which typically include.

  • Business registration certificate (CIN, GST, etc.)
  • Test report from BIS-recognized lab
  • Authorization letter from the manufacturer
  • Product details and specifications
  • Factory address proof
  • Brand Details
  • 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.
