BIS for IT Equipment in Delhi – CRS Scheme Explained (2025 Guide)

In the last decade, Delhi NCR has become one of the biggest markets for IT equipment- laptops, monitors, servers, tablets, routers, printers, scanners, and storage devices. Whether you're importing, manufacturing, or selling electronic devices, one thing is non-negotiable in India:

You must comply with the BIS CRS Scheme.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made certification mandatory for most IT and electronics products to ensure safety, performance, and quality. Without BIS approval, customs will not clear your shipment, online platforms will not onboard your products, and retail distribution becomes legally risky.

What is BIS and Why It Matters for IT Equipment?

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) is the national quality and safety authority in India. As technology products increased in India, BIS introduced the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for IT and electronic goods.

Under CRS, manufacturers must:

• Follow Indian safety standards

• Test their product in a BIS-recognized lab

• Apply for a BIS CRS Registration number

• Print the BIS CRS mark on the device

Here are the major IT and electronics items requiring mandatory BIS CRS approval:

● Laptops and notebooks

● Desktop computers

● Monitors

● Printers, scanners, plotters

● Routers, modems, Wi-Fi units

● Servers and storage devices

You are legally required to get BIS CRS certification before selling your product in India.

Even Amazon, Flipkart, JioMart, and Tata Neu strictly ask for BIS CRS numbers during onboarding.

Why BIS CRS is Mandatory for IT Equipment?

Here’s why India enforces CRS so strongly:

1. Consumer safety

Faulty electronics can cause shocks, fire, overheating, and data issues.

2. Standardized quality

CRS ensures every laptop, monitor, or server meets acceptable safety benchmarks.

3. Clear responsibility

BIS registration links every device to a specific manufacturer.

4. Stopping cheap unsafe imports

CRS filters out non-compliant electronics entering the Delhi NCR market.
