BIS CRS License Registration Process and Complete Guide India
Author : Agile Regulatory | Published On : 25 Jun 2026
Introduction
In India, electronic and IT products must comply with strict safety and quality standards before being sold in the market. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) introduced the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) to regulate such products. BIS CRS License is mandatory for manufacturers and importers of notified electronic products.
The BIS CRS License ensures that products meet Indian safety standards and are safe for consumer use. Without this certification, electronic products cannot be legally sold or imported in India.
Agile Regulatory provides complete assistance for BIS CRS License registration, including documentation, testing coordination, application filing, and compliance support.
