Overview
BIS Electronic Registration, also known as BIS CRS Registration, is a mandatory compliance requirement for manufacturers and importers of electronic and IT products in India. The registration is governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) notified by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
Under this scheme, electronic products must comply with prescribed Indian Standards (IS) and bear the Standard Mark before being sold in the Indian market.
At Adviso Compliance, we provide complete BIS CRS registration support, including documentation, testing coordination, and BIS approval management.
