Overview: BIS (CRS)

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) in 2012 to regulate the quality, safety, and performance of electronic and IT products sold in India. Under this scheme, manufacturers (both Indian and foreign) must obtain BIS CRS Registration before selling, importing, or distributing their products in the Indian market.

The CRS is mandatory because electronic and IT devices directly impact consumer safety, product reliability, and environmental sustainability. By ensuring compliance, BIS protects Indian consumers from substandard or unsafe products while also maintaining fair competition among brands.

For manufacturers, importers, and brand owners, BIS CRS Registration is not just a legal formality—it is a gateway to market access in India. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, product seizures, and even a complete sales ban. For foreign brands, CRS approval is particularly important since it allows them to establish credibility and expand smoothly into one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

Moreover, BIS CRS Registration encourages innovation and trust in the electronics sector. With standardized testing and certification, businesses can confidently launch new technologies knowing they meet Indian safety benchmarks. This not only strengthens brand reputation but also builds consumer confidence in the long run.

At SS Global Services, we simplify the complex BIS registration process with 12+ years of compliance expertise. From document preparation to testing and license approval, we provide end-to-end BIS CRS Registration services that help brands achieve faster approvals and seamless compliance.

What is BIS CRS Registration?

The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) was launched by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 2012 with the primary objective of regulating the quality and safety of electronic and IT products sold in India. Unlike voluntary certifications, CRS is mandatory, meaning that no manufacturer, importer, or brand owner can legally sell or distribute notified products in the Indian market without obtaining CRS approval.

The purpose of CRS is to ensure that every product entering the Indian market meets the minimum standards of quality, reliability, and safety. Since electronic and IT devices directly affect consumer safety and can pose risks such as electric shock, fire hazards, or performance failures, this scheme acts as a safeguard for consumers. At the same time, it helps maintain fair competition among manufacturers by creating a uniform benchmark for compliance.

Difference between BIS CRS and ISI Certification

While both schemes are managed by BIS, they serve different purposes:

  • BIS CRS Registration:

    It applies specifically to notified electronic and IT goods, and is based on product testing and document submission.

  • ISI Mark Certification (Scheme-I):

    It covers a much broader range of products, including household, industrial, and mechanical items, and typically involves factory audits, inspections, and ongoing surveillance in addition to testing.

In simple terms, CRS is a streamlined registration process focused on electronics/IT products, while ISI is a comprehensive quality mark applicable to diverse industries

Who Needs BIS CRS Certification?

BIS CRS Registration is mandatory for a wide category of stakeholders involved in the manufacturing, importing, or branding of notified electronic and IT goods in India. Any company, whether domestic or foreign, that wishes to sell or distribute products covered under the CRS scheme must obtain this certification before launching them in the Indian market.

  • Domestic Manufacturers:

    Any Indian factory producing products covered under CRS must register with BIS before launching them in the market

  • Foreign Manufacturers:

    Overseas companies cannot directly apply to BIS. They are required to appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) who will act as their local compliance partner and coordinate with BIS on their behalf.

  • Importers & Brand Owners:

    Even if they are not directly manufacturing, importers and brand owners are legally responsible for ensuring that their products are CRS-registered. Without registration, customs clearance will not be granted, and such products may face seizures or penalties.

Note:- Whether you are a domestic producer, an international manufacturer, or a brand owner importing products into India, BIS CRS Certification is unavoidable if your products fall under the notified list.

Process of BIS CRS Registration:

The process of obtaining a BIS CRS Registration is a structured and regulated procedure designed to ensure that electronic and IT products meet the prescribed Indian safety standards. Both domestic and foreign manufacturers are required to undergo this process before placing their products in the Indian market. While the procedure involves multiple stages, it becomes seamless when approached systematically with proper documentation and compliance support.

Step-by-step BIS CRS Certification Process:

  • 1. Identify the Applicable Standard:

    Check if your product is listed under BIS CRS notifications and find the correct Indian Standard (IS) for compliance.

  • 2. Product Testing:

    Send product samples to a BIS-recognized lab in India for testing as per the prescribed IS standard.

  • 3. Document Preparation:

    Prepare required documents such as test reports, factory details, brand authorization (if needed), and AIR appointment (for foreign manufacturers).

  • 4. Submit Application:

    Submit the BIS application online/offline with documents, test reports, and applicable government fees.

  • 5. Scrutiny by BIS:

    BIS officials review the application and the test report, and may also seek clarifications if any discrepancies are found.

  • 6. Grant of Certification:

    On approval, BIS issues the CRS certificate with a unique R-number, which must be displayed on the product and packaging.

At SS Global Services, we assist clients at every stage of this process—right from identifying the correct standard to getting the final CRS license without unnecessary delays. With our expertise, brands can achieve faster approvals, avoid rejections, and enter the Indian market with complete compliance confidence.

BIS Licence Timeline, Validity and Renewal Process

Obtaining and maintaining a BIS licence is not just about securing approval but also ensuring its long-term validity. The process involves specific timelines for both domestic and foreign manufacturers, along with defined rules for licence duration and renewal. Understanding these aspects helps businesses plan better, avoid delays, and ensure uninterrupted market access.

General Timeline:

  • For Domestic Manufacturers:

    Processing generally takes 20–30 working days, depending on the product category, documentation accuracy, sample testing schedules, and BIS review process.

  • For Foreign Manufacturers:

    Processing usually requires 60–90 working days, as it involves additional steps such as appointing an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR), shipping product samples internationally, customs clearance, and extended scrutiny by BIS.
    For complex products or in cases where BIS raises clarifications or discrepancies are found in documents/testing, the certification timeline may extend further.

Note: Delays may occur if documents are incomplete, product samples fail testing, or if BIS raises additional queries. Hence, it is advisable for manufacturers and importers to prepare documentation in advance and work with an experienced consultant like SS Global Services to avoid unnecessary delays.

Validity of BIS CRS Licence

A BIS CRS Licence is initially issued for a period of 2 years. During this validity period, manufacturers are authorized to use the BIS Standard Mark on their registered products, provided they consistently comply with the prescribed Indian Standards.

The validity duration ensures that BIS can monitor product quality and compliance on a regular basis. For continued certification, the licence must be renewed before its expiry.

Renewal of BIS CRS Licence:

The BIS CRS licence can be renewed for a minimum of 2 years and up to 5 years at a time, based on the manufacturer’s choice and compliance record.

The renewal process typically involves:
  • Submission of the prescribed renewal application form.
  • Payment of renewal fees and annual marking fees.
  • Updated compliance documents and, if required, fresh test reports.
  • Proof of compliance with BIS standards during the licence period.

BIS evaluates the manufacturer’s past performance, inspection history, and compliance record before approving the renewal. If there are no significant deviations, renewal is granted smoothly.

Note: Delays in renewal application or non-compliance with BIS norms may lead to additional scrutiny, late fees, or even suspension/cancellation of the licence. Submitting the renewal application well in advance helps ensure uninterrupted certification and market access.

Documents Required for BIS CRS Registration

The documentation process is one of the most crucial parts of obtaining a BIS CRS Registration. Along with product testing, BIS carefully evaluates the submitted papers to confirm the manufacturer’s identity, production capability, and compliance with Indian standards. The requirements differ for domestic manufacturers and foreign manufacturers because international applicants must additionally appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) to act on their behalf in India.

Having the correct set of documents ready ensures a smooth application process and helps avoid unnecessary delays or rejections during scrutiny. Below is the list of essential documents required for both Indian and overseas manufacturers applying for BIS CRS Registration.

For Indian Manufacturers:

  • Business License / Company Registration (CIN, GST, etc.)
  • Factory Address Proof & Manufacturing Layout
  • ISO 9001:2015 Certificate (Quality Management)
  • Authorized Signatory ID & Authorization Letter
  • Trademark Registration / Brand Authorization Letter (if applicable)
  • Product Technical Documents (PCB Layout, User Manual)
  • BIS-approved Test Report (issued within 90 days)

For Foreign Manufacturers:

  • Business License / Company Incorporation Certificate
  • ISO 9001:2015 Certificate
  • Trademark Registration / Brand Authorization Letter (if applicable)
  • Product Technical Documents (PCB Layout, User Manual)
  • BIS-approved Test Report (issued within 90 days)
  • AIR (Authorized Indian Representative) Documents:

    (a). Undertaking & Nomination Form
    (b). Indian office address & KYC documents of AIR

Note: Accurate documentation is vital for BIS CRS Certification, as errors or missing papers can delay or reject applications. Domestic manufacturers have a simpler list, while foreign manufacturers must also appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR). Verifying documents carefully and taking expert guidance ensures a smooth and faster approval.

At SS Global Services, we ensure all your BIS CRS documentation is handled with precision and accuracy. From preparing application forms to verifying supporting papers and coordinating with BIS officials, our team takes complete responsibility for managing your paperwork. This minimizes the chances of errors or rejections and saves valuable time, giving you peace of mind that your compliance journey is in safe hands.

Post-Registration Requirements for BIS Licence

Obtaining a BIS Licence is not the final step; manufacturers and importers must also comply with certain post-registration requirements to ensure continued validity of their certification. BIS actively monitors license holders to maintain product quality and safety standards in the market.

Some of the key post-registration obligations include:

  • Regular Product Testing:

    Manufacturers must send samples for periodic testing to BIS-recognized laboratories to confirm continued compliance with Indian Standards.

  • Marking Requirements:

    Products must carry the ISI mark/CRS logo with licence number, as prescribed by BIS guidelines. Any misuse or incorrect marking can lead to suspension or cancellation of the licence.

  • Record Maintenance:

    Proper records of raw materials, production processes, and quality checks should be maintained and made available for BIS audits or inspections.

  • Annual Renewal & Fees:

    Licence holders are required to renew their BIS certification on time by paying the renewal fees and submitting the required documents.

These answers will help you gain quick clarity and guide you through every step of the registration journey.

BIS CRS Registration (Compulsory Registration Scheme) is a mandatory certification issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for specific electronics, IT, and solar products. It ensures that the products meet safety and quality standards before being sold in the Indian market.

Over 70+ electronic and IT products including mobile phones, laptops, LED lights, printers, set-top boxes, adapters, and automatic data processing machines (ADPM) are covered under BIS CRS Registration.

Both Indian and foreign manufacturers must obtain BIS CRS Registration for their products. Importers can only sell BIS-certified products in India, so they must ensure their foreign suppliers have a valid BIS CRS licence.

To get BIS CRS Registration, the manufacturer must apply online on the BIS portal, submit documents, send product samples to a BIS-recognized lab, and complete the testing process. After successful evaluation, BIS issues a CRS Certificate.

The process includes application submission, product testing in BIS-recognized labs, documentation, scrutiny by BIS officials, and issuance of the BIS CRS license.

The cost depends on factors such as product type, testing fees, government charges, and consultant fees. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to connect with a BIS CRS Registration Consultant in India.

BIS has approved multiple NABL-accredited labs in India where product testing must be conducted. Our experts coordinate with these labs to ensure accurate and fast test reports.

BIS CRS Registration is usually valid for 2 years and can be renewed for successive terms by submitting updated documents and renewal fees.

Selling non-registered products is illegal in India and may result in penalties, product seizures, or cancellation of import permissions.

BIS CRS Registration applies mainly to electronics & IT products, while ISI Mark Certification applies to industrial and consumer goods like steel, cement, and household products.

Yes, foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) in India to apply for BIS CRS Registration on their behalf.
