BIS/CRS Registration: Unlocking the Indian Market for Your Products

Looking to enter the Indian market with your products? BIS/CRS Registration (Bureau of Indian Standards/Compulsory Registration Scheme) is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s your assurance of quality, safety, and market readiness.

Established under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) ensures that IT and electronic products sold in India meet strict quality and safety benchmarks. Compliance with these standards is crucial for manufacturers and importers aiming to thrive in one of the world’s largest consumer markets.

Whether you’re a domestic manufacturer or an international company importing goods into India, BIS/CRS Registration is your gateway to legal sales and consumer trust in this dynamic market.

What Is BIS/CRS Registration?

BIS/CRS Registration is a process designed to ensure that specific categories of products meet predefined standards of quality, safety, and reliability. It applies to manufacturers and importers of IT and electronic goods listed under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).

Introduced in 2012, CRS mandates that these products undergo rigorous testing at BIS-recognized laboratories to verify compliance with Indian standards before they can be sold. The primary aim is to protect consumers and promote the production of high-quality goods in the market.

Who Needs BIS/CRS Registration?

BIS/CRS Registration is mandatory for manufacturers or importers dealing with:

  • IT and electronic goods listed under the CRS category.
  • Products that fall under the regulatory purview of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

If your product type is covered under the CRS, you cannot legally manufacture, sell, or distribute it in India without this certification.

Why Is BIS/CRS Registration Important?

  1. Mandatory Legal Compliance: Certain product categories cannot be sold in India without BIS certification. Non-compliance may lead to product seizures, fines, or legal action.
  2. Consumer Trust & Confidence: The BIS mark signifies adherence to Indian safety and quality standards, making your products more reliable and desirable to Indian consumers.
  3. Market Access: With BIS/CRS certification, your products gain access to India’s booming consumer market, opening up new growth opportunities.
  4. Competitive Advantage: BIS-certified products are perceived as safer and of higher quality, giving your brand a significant edge over uncertified competitors.
  5. Facilitate Global Expansion: Products certified under BIS demonstrate compliance with recognized standards, which can help in entering other international markets with ease.
