Statutory Overview

What is BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme)?

BIS CRS Certification
Official Laboratory Testing & Technical Compliance MeitY & BIS Mandate

The Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) was introduced in 2012 by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in partnership with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirement for Compulsory Registration) Order.

Under this regulatory framework, no manufacturer (domestic or foreign) can sell, import, or distribute notified electronic, IT, solar, or battery products in India without obtaining a valid BIS Registration Number (R-Number) and printing the official CRS standard mark on product packaging and labels.

Validity & Renewal Lifecycle

Initial registration is issued for 2 years, renewable up to 5 years seamlessly through expedited online processing without requiring fresh sample testing, provided no critical circuit or component modifications have taken place.

2-5 Year Validity Simplified Renewal
Foreign Manufacturers (AIR Desk)

Foreign OEMs require an active Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) residing in India to represent statutory accountability. Lockene acts as your professional AIR representative with complete legal and portal liaison.

Frequently Asked Questions (BIS CRS)

Typically, testing in a NABL laboratory takes about 2 to 3 weeks, and BIS scrutiny takes 1 to 2 weeks post-submission. With Lockene's expedited tracking, complete registration is achieved within 20 to 30 working days.

Yes! Under BIS Series Grouping Guidelines, similar models sharing identical critical components (PCB, power supply, rating) can be grouped under one lead model, significantly reducing testing fees and certification timeline.

No, BIS CRS (Scheme-II) does NOT require physical factory inspection prior to license grant. It is granted purely based on sample testing from accredited Indian laboratories and complete documentation review.
