The Compulsory Registration Scheme covers a specific category of products — largely electronics and IT equipment — under a somewhat different process than traditional ISI mark certification.
CRS is specifically relevant to electronics and IT products, reflecting the growing regulatory attention on safety and quality standards in this fast-evolving product category.
The process generally involves product testing against applicable safety standards, followed by registration reflecting compliance, allowing the manufacturer to legally market the covered product in India.
Manufacturers and importers of electronics/IT products should specifically confirm whether their products fall under CRS, since this scheme's requirements and process differ somewhat from BIS's more traditional ISI mark certification route.
