BIS Certification for Electronic and IT Products

BIS Registration is the official approval granted by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for products that comply with relevant Indian Standards. BIS, functioning under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Government of India, is the National Standards Body of India, established under the BIS Act, 2016.

BIS plays a key role in ensuring the quality and safety of goods in the Indian market. Its functions span across:

Standards formulation

Product certification

Testing and laboratory services

Hallmarking

Calibration schemes

Training and capacity building

BIS Registration serves as third-party assurance that a product meets prescribed standards for quality, safety, and reliability, building consumer trust and market credibility.

Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)

Launched in 2012 by the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) (now MeitY) in collaboration with BIS, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) aims to protect Indian consumers from counterfeit and substandard products—especially in the fast-growing electronics and IT sector.

Under this scheme:

BIS Registration is mandatory for certain electronic and IT products before they can be manufactured, imported, or sold in India.

Products covered must undergo testing from a BIS-recognized laboratory, and manufacturers must obtain a BIS license under CRS before launching them in the market.

This ensures that all such products conform to specified safety and performance standards, as outlined in applicable Indian Standards.

Whether you’re an Indian or foreign manufacturer, compliance with BIS CRS is essential to access the Indian electronics and IT market legally and competitively.
