BIS CRS Certification Services in India
Are you a manufacturer, importer, or brand owner planning to sell electronic or IT products in India? Then obtaining a BIS CRS Certification is mandatory. CRS stands for Compulsory Registration Scheme, introduced by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY). It ensures that products meet Indian safety and quality standards before they are sold in the Indian market.
At Om Garuda Group, we specialize in providing complete assistance for BIS CRS registration – from documentation and product testing to final approval. Our team ensures your products comply with Indian regulations, helping you avoid penalties, customs issues, or market restrictions.
What is BIS CRS Certification?
The BIS CRS Certification is an approval issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards to manufacturers of specified electronic and IT products. It was launched in 2012 to ensure consumer safety and product reliability. Under this scheme, manufacturers must register their products after testing them in BIS-recognized labs. Once registered, the product receives a unique R-number that must be displayed on the product and packaging.
Without BIS CRS registration, your products cannot be legally manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold in India.
