We offer comprehensive end-to-end support for BIS CRS Certification, covering every requirement to ensure a smooth and hassle-free compliance journey.
CRS certification ensures that products meet the required safety and quality standards as per Indian Regulatory requirements and prevents substandard goods from entering the Indian Market.
Currently, there are 73 product categories covered under BIS-CRS, including:
Mobile phones, laptops, batteries
Photovoltaic modules, power inverters
Ortho phosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid
Cotton bales and materials
CRS compliance is mandatory for both foreign as well as domestic manufacturers who want to sell their products in India. It provides easier market entry to the Indian Market and boosts consumer trust.
Products covered under BIS-CRS necessarily need to be compliant with Indian Standards. Failing to comply with Indian regulation will restrict entry to the Indian market through customs. If non-compliant products are caught during market surveillance, the license may be liable for cancellation.

Certificates can be renewed for an additional period of 2, 3, 4, or 5 years, depending on your specific requirements.
Product samples are tested in a BIS approved lab as per the applicable Safety Standard.
