BIS CRS registration is a mandatory compliance requirement for electronic and IT products notified under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Any electronic product covered under CRS must be registered with BIS before it can be manufactured, imported, or sold in India.
For many businesses, the BIS CRS certification process appears complex due to testing requirements, documentation rules, and strict application checks. ASC Group offers simplified BIS CRS registration for electronic products, helping manufacturers, importers, and brand owners achieve compliance smoothly, accurately, and without delays.
What Is BIS CRS Certification?
BIS CRS certification is a form of BIS compulsory registration introduced specifically for electronic and IT products. Under this scheme:
- Products are tested as per notified Indian Standards (IS)
- Registration is granted based on test reports and declarations
- Factory inspection is generally not required
- Approval is mandatory before market entry
Once approved, BIS issues a BIS CRS registration certificate along with a BIS CRS license, authorising the sale of the registered product in India.
BIS Certification for Electronic Products: Why CRS Matters
The list of BIS certification mandatory products for electronics continues to expand. CRS ensures that electronic products:
- Meet Indian safety and quality standards
- Do not pose risks to consumers
- Comply with import and market regulations
Without valid BIS CRS registration, electronic products may face customs clearance issues, penalties, or market withdrawal.
Electronic Products Covered Under BIS CRS Registration
Common categories requiring BIS CRS certification include:
- Mobile phones and accessories
- Power adapters, chargers, and power banks
- LED lighting products
- IT and audio-video equipment
- Consumer electronic devices
If a product is notified under CRS, BIS registration is compulsory—there are no exemptions for commercial sales.
