BIS CRS Registration in India: A Complete Guide for Manufacturers and Importers

What Is BIS CRS Registration?

BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) is a conformity assessment scheme administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Under this scheme, notified products must meet the applicable Indian Standards and obtain registration before being sold in the Indian market. The scheme covers specified electronic and IT products, such as mobile phones, power adapters, LED products, and other notified categories. The exact requirements depend on the product type and applicable government notifications.

Who Needs BIS CRS Registration?

BIS CRS Registration is relevant to manufacturers producing products covered under the scheme. Businesses importing such products must also ensure that the required registration is in place before placing them on the Indian market. Whether you are an Indian manufacturer or an overseas manufacturer supplying products to India, identifying the correct product standard and registration requirements is an important first step.

Documents and Registration Process

The documents required may vary depending on the product and manufacturing location. Common requirements include:

• Manufacturer and factory details
• Product specifications and model information
• Applicable Indian Standard details
• Test reports from a BIS-recognised laboratory, as required
• Authorisation documents, where applicable

The general process involves identifying the applicable standard, arranging product testing, preparing the required documents, submitting the application through the relevant BIS process, and responding to any queries raised during assessment.

Why Is BIS CRS Registration Important?

Obtaining the required BIS registration helps businesses meet applicable regulatory requirements, supports product market access, and reduces the risk of compliance-related delays. Selling a notified product without the required registration can lead to regulatory consequences.
