▍Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)
To upgrade quality of domestic electronics and IT goods, so as to reduce the dumping of foreign low-quality products in the domestic market, Indian Department of Electronics and Information Technology, DeitYplp formally carried out Compulsory Registration Scheme on April 3rd, 2013 for electronic products.
Regulated products shall conform to applicable India safety standards and CRS requirement before they are imported, launched or sold to India. All electronics and IT products which are compulsory under CRS shall register in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) before imported to India or being sold in Indian markets.
In November 2014, 15 more products newly became compulsory under CRS, thereby, it covers 30 kinds of products in all. New products are as below: mobile phones, battery/cell, power banks, power adapters, LED lamps, Point of Sale Terminals and etc. The implementation of CRS on power banks is May 13,2015 while on battery it’s August 13, 2015. However, after 3 times of delay, the implementation of battery/cell came to be June 1, 2016.
