The BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) is a regulatory framework established by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure product safety and quality for specific categories such as electronics, IT goods, and household appliances. This scheme mandates that these products must be registered with BIS and comply with relevant Indian Standards (IS) before being sold in the Indian market. Key features include mandatory registration, rigorous compliance testing in BIS-recognized laboratories, assignment of a unique BIS registration number, and regular market surveillance and factory inspections. The BIS CRS aims to protect consumers from substandard products, ensure quality assurance, and promote industry accountability, thereby enhancing consumer trust, market competitiveness, and legal compliance for manufacturers and importers.
