Video cameras are designed to capture and record moving images and sound, making them essential for cinematography, videography, journalism, and other applications. Unlike digital cameras that primarily capture still images, video cameras are engineered to record dynamic scenes in motion, offering continuous recording and high-quality audio capture features. Video cameras have played a pivotal role in the creation of movies, documentaries, news broadcasts, and online content, empowering filmmakers and content creators to communicate stories and ideas visually.
Over the years, video cameras have evolved to include features like high-definition and 4K video recording, image stabilization, slow-motion capabilities, and wireless connectivity, enhancing their versatility and convenience. The continued advancement of technology ensures that video cameras remain instrumental in capturing and sharing moments, experiences, and stories, both professionally and in everyday life.
IS 616 : 2017 is an Indian Standard that sets safety requirements for various electronic devices, including video cameras. They cover aspects such as electrical safety, battery handling, and materials used in the construction of the cameras. These standards reduce the risk of accidents, such as electric shocks, battery-related incidents, and fire hazards, ensuring the safety of users. Manufacturers need to comply with these standards to meet regulatory requirements and ensure their products are legally compliant and safe for consumers.
Note: Manufacturers of video cameras are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
BIS/CRS Registration assures that these devices conform to specific quality and safety standards as established by the BIS. The primary objective of this compulsory registration is to ascertain that video cameras are designed, manufactured, and distributed in adherence to stringent quality and safety criteria mandated by Indian regulations. This registration plays a crucial role in assuring the quality and safety of video cameras available in the Indian market, offering consumers the assurance that these devices are free from potential defects and do not pose risks to users.
Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
