BIS Registration for Electronics is a crucial aspect when it comes to Electronic & IT products. It is a quality control compliance that is required for the protection, standardization, and quality marking of manufactured products. This compliance creates an accountable and traceable system that eventually accommodates consumers, creating a sense of assurance and trust.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for managing the product certification scheme in India to ensure product quality, safety, and trust. BIS certification is not a universal standard for all products, rather, products are governed under a particular Indian Standard. Therefore, it is important to obtain BIS Licence for your manufactured products to ensure compliance with Indian Standards and to gain the trust of your consumers.
BIS Licence promotes imports and domestic manufacturers by guiding them regularly with the correct specifications of the products to harmonize the flow and quality through certification and testing.
BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme For Electronic & IT Products
In 2012, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) introduced the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) jointly with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) 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.
According to the Compulsory Registration Scheme Orders, no one shall manufacture or store for sale, sell, import, or distribute goods that do not comply with the Indian standard specified in the order and do not bear the Standard Mark with a unique registration number obtained from BIS.
