How to obtain BIS certification in India for electronic products?

For export to India, manufacturers need BIS certification (ISI) under the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS), or BIS registration under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for certain products. BIS Certification is obligatory for these products so that they can be introduced and sold on the Indian market. BIS Certification India or BIS Registration issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) ensures the quality, safety and reliability of products in accordance with Indian Standards (IS).

 

What is BIS certification?

The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) formulated mandatory regulations for electronic products in 2012, stipulating that electronic information products within the mandatory scope must obtain BIS registration certification before being sold. BIS registration certification is also called CRS certification (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which is mainly for electronic, battery, photovoltaic and other equipment.
