Under the Compulsory Registration Scheme, BIS Registration for Electronic and IT Products plays a pivotal role in India.
With countless electronic gadgets and information technology devices flooding the market, it becomes essential to have a regulatory framework that guarantees the reliability and safety of these products.
This is where the BIS Registration, under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS), becomes an essential requirement.
In this blog, we'll discuss the importance of BIS-CRS Registration for these products and the process of this registration.
The Bureau of Indian Standards, established under the BIS Act 1986, is the premier body responsible for the development of standards and regulations across various industries in India.
When it comes to Electronic and IT products, adherence to stringent quality control standards is crucial, often referred to as BIS Registration.
The Compulsory Registration Scheme was collaboratively launched in 2012 by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) and the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to provide a safeguard for Indian consumers against counterfeit and inferior goods.
Through the Compulsory Registration Scheme, the Bureau of Indian Standards provides manufacturers with a BIS registration certificate, allowing them to affix a standardized mark bearing a distinct registration number on their electronic and IT products.
The BIS License for electronic products and their operation is administered under the conformity assessment scheme delineated in Scheme II of Schedule II of the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations of 2018.
