Scheme – I (ISI Mark Scheme) FOR INDIAN MANUFACTURERS

BIS (CRS) Scheme-I (Registration Scheme) for Domestic (Indian) Manufacturers

The BIS (CRS) Scheme-I (Registration Scheme) is a conformity assessment framework under which manufacturers of specified electronic and IT products can obtain BIS registration for products covered under the applicable Indian Standards.

For domestic Indian manufacturers, BIS CRS registration helps establish that the applicable products have been tested and comply with the relevant requirements prescribed under the scheme. The registration process generally involves product testing through a BIS-recognized laboratory, submission of the required application and supporting documents, and evaluation by the Bureau of Indian Standards.

BIS CRS registration may be applicable to various categories of electronic and IT products notified under the Compulsory Registration Scheme. Manufacturers are required to ensure that their products meet the applicable Indian Standard before applying for registration.

• Demonstrates conformity of covered products with the relevant Indian Standards.

• Supports lawful manufacture and sale of applicable products in India.

• Provides a recognized compliance framework for electronic and IT products.

• Helps manufacturers maintain consistent product quality and regulatory compliance.
