BIS Certification

 

BIS/CRS registration means that any product complies with applicable Indian standards has been approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Bureau of Indian Standards is the national standards body of India, established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016, BIS operates in a wide range of areas including standard setting, product certification, testing, training services, certification, laboratory services, calibration services and more.

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) has introduced CRS “Compulsory Registration Scheme” Order 2012" on 03 October 2012 with 15 categories of electronics products, and after that the department were added another categories with new gazettes to protect Indian consumers from spurious and substandard goods. The CRS scheme requires registration for electronics and IT products before launching them into the market.

As per the BIS CRS Orders, no person shall manufacture or store for sale, import, sell or distribute goods which do not conform to the Indian standard specified in the order and do not bear the Standard Mark with unique BIS registration number obtained from BIS.

Bureau of Indian Standards issues certificates to manufacturers of products listed in BIS under mandatory or voluntary certification. Companies can place the brand on their products after getting approval from BIS. Although obtaining a BIS licence is voluntary, the Indian government has made it mandatory for certain goods to enter India to protect the environment, public health and safety, and the health of humans and animals in the country. It is also aimed at preventing unfair trade practices.
