FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is BIS safety testing?

BIS safety testing refers to the evaluation of products to ensure they meet the safety and quality standards defined by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) must undergo testing in BIS-recognized labs before they can be sold in India.

What types of tests are included in BIS safety testing?

The testing process includes a variety of electrical and mechanical safety tests, such as:
-Electric shock protection
-Insulation resistance and high voltage test
-Leakage current and grounding continuity
-Temperature rise and fire resistance
-Mechanical durability and abnormal operation

Is BIS safety testing mandatory for all manufacturers?

Yes, if your product category falls under the BIS CRS list, safety testing and BIS registration are legally mandatory in India — whether you're a manufacturer, importer, or brand owner. Products must be tested and certified before being sold or distributed in the Indian market.

Can you help with both testing and BIS certification?

Absolutely. At Absolute Veritas, we provide end-to-end services — including safety testing through BIS-approved labs, preparation of technical files, documentation, and filing for BIS certification under CRS. We also assist with renewals and post-certification compliance.

What happens if a product fails BIS safety testing?

If your product does not meet the required safety standards, the lab will issue a non-conformance report (NCR). We help you identify the issues, improve the product design or components, and reinitiate the testing and certification process.
