CRS Registration

BIS CRS Registration Consultant in Mumbai

We register electronics and IT products under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for Indian manufacturers, importers and overseas factories, covering testing through to R-number.

Quick answer: CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) is BIS Scheme-II for electronics and IT products notified by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY). Each model must be tested at a BIS-recognised lab and registered on the BIS CRS portal. The product must then carry the Standard Mark with its registration (R-) number before sale or import. Foreign manufacturers need an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR). Registration is typically valid for two years and can be renewed.

FAQ

BIS CRS Registration: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

Have a product-specific question? Contact our team or WhatsApp +91 79799 60322.

What is a BIS R-number?

It is the unique registration number BIS issues under CRS. It must be printed with the Standard Mark on the product, its packaging and the user manual.

Does CRS need a factory inspection?

Generally no. CRS is based on testing at a BIS-recognised lab and online registration. BIS can, however, carry out market surveillance and draw samples after registration.

How long is CRS registration valid?

CRS registration is typically valid for two years and must be renewed before expiry to keep selling or importing the product.

Can a foreign manufacturer get CRS registration?

Yes. A foreign manufacturer applies directly but must nominate an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR) based in India. DGC helps importers and overseas factories with AIR documentation.

Can one test report cover several models?

Often, yes. BIS series or family guidelines allow testing of a representative model for a group of similar models. We plan the grouping to keep testing costs down.
