BIS CRS Registration - An Overview

BIS CRS registration, governed under the BIS (Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018, Scheme II, is applicable to both Indian and foreign manufacturers whose products are covered by the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). BIS CRS registration is simply a certification that ensures compliance with the prescribed Indian quality and safety standards before products are made available in the market.

Once the BIS CRS registration is approved, BIS issues a 10-digit R-number that identifies the product code and its packaging. This R-number must be printed on the product packaging before it is released for sale. If you need seamless support in obtaining BIS CRS registration, talk to our experts at Corpbiz for AI-powered compliance management and end-to-end assistance. Why risk rejection?
