Overview of the BIS Electronics and IT Product Certification Scheme

The BIS Electronics and IT Product Certification Scheme is a self-conformity program that does not require factory audits. Manufacturers of electronics and IT products listed under the CRS must first get their products tested at BIS-recognized labs. Following successful testing, they can apply for registration with the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and use the Standard Mark on their products.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) maintains a list of over 100 products covered by the CRS, including televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, computers, mobile phones, and electronic toys.

This scheme operates under the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, which outline the requirements for product registration, testing, and surveillance. For detailed assistance with the CRS certification process, contact Absolute Veritas.

Overview of the BIS ISI Mark Licensing Scheme

The BIS ISI Mark Licensing Scheme applies to a diverse range of products, including electrical appliances, building materials, food and beverages, and pharmaceuticals. To obtain the license for using the ISI Mark on their products, manufacturers must undergo a factory audit conducted by a BIS-recognized lab under this licensing scheme.

The Government of India maintains a list of over 1,500 products covered under the ISI Mark scheme. This scheme operates under the BIS Act, 1986, which outlines the BIS's powers and functions, including the authority to specify products that must display the ISI Mark. The ISI Mark is a widely recognized symbol of quality and safety, assuring consumers throughout India of a product's reliability and standard.
