BIS CRS Registration in India

The BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) is a regulatory framework applicable to specified electronic and information technology products covered under relevant Indian Standards.

Businesses manufacturing, importing or marketing products covered under the applicable scheme need to understand the relevant product requirements, testing process, documentation and registration obligations before introducing such products into the Indian market.

Ampere Regulatory Private Limited helps manufacturers, importers, brands and businesses understand applicable BIS CRS requirements and manage the compliance journey through a practical and structured approach.

What is BIS CRS Registration?

BIS CRS Registration is the applicable product registration process under the Bureau of Indian Standards for specified products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme.

The scheme is intended to ensure that covered products meet the applicable Indian Standard and relevant regulatory requirements before they are placed in the Indian market.

Since requirements are product-specific, businesses should first determine whether their particular product falls under the applicable CRS scope and identify the relevant Indian Standard before beginning the registration process.

Who Needs BIS CRS Registration?

BIS CRS requirements may be relevant to businesses involved in the manufacture, import, distribution or marketing of products covered under the applicable scheme.

Indian Manufacturers

Businesses manufacturing specified electronic and information technology products for sale or distribution in India may need to meet applicable BIS CRS requirements.

Overseas Manufacturers

Foreign manufacturers supplying products covered under applicable Indian regulatory requirements may also need to complete the relevant compliance process.

Importers and Distributors

Businesses importing, distributing or supplying regulated products should understand the applicable compliance requirements before commercial distribution.

Private Label Brands

Businesses selling applicable products under their own brand name should assess the relevant product and regulatory requirements before entering the market.

Products Covered Under BIS CRS

BIS CRS applies to specified products notified under the applicable regulatory framework. The exact product coverage can change through applicable notifications, standards and regulatory updates.

Depending on the current scope, applicable categories may include certain electronic products, information technology equipment, communication-related products, audio and video equipment, power-related devices, lighting products and other notified electronic and IT products.

Businesses should verify the current applicability of BIS CRS for their specific product before starting the registration process.

Why is BIS CRS Registration Important?

A structured compliance approach can help businesses understand applicable requirements, prepare for product testing, organize documentation, address regulatory queries and plan their market entry more effectively.
