BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme | Indian Standards

As per BIS, the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) aims to provide momentum to the rapidly expanding sectors of Electronic and IT, while simultaneously protecting Indian consumers from spurious and substandard products.

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) (erstwhile DeitY) has notified "Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirement for Compulsory Registration) Order, 2012" on 03 October 2012 for the first phase of electronics items. With time more phases were introduced and included in Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). As per the Orders, no person shall manufacture or store for sale, import, sell or distribute goods that do not conform to the Indian standard specified in the order and do not bear the Standard Mark with unique registration number obtained from BIS. Bureau of Indian Standards grants a license to the manufacturers to use or apply Standard Mark with unique R-number, through registration based on self-declaration of conformity for goods and articles as per Indian Standards. The grant of license and its operation under BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme is carried out as per the conformity assessment scheme under Scheme - II of Schedule - II of BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018'.
