If you are manufacturing, importing, or selling electronic products in Uttar Pradesh, CRS Registration is something you cannot ignore. Many business owners first hear about BIS CRS registration only when their shipment gets stuck at customs or a marketplace asks for a BIS number. By then, it already feels stressful.
CRS Registration under BIS is not just a formality. It is a legal requirement for many electronic and IT products sold in India, including Uttar Pradesh. Whether your business is based in Noida, Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut, Agra, or any other city in UP, the rules remain the same. Without valid BIS CRS registration, your product cannot be sold, imported, or distributed.
This blog explains CRS Registration in Uttar Pradesh in a clear, practical way. You will understand what CRS is, who needs it, how the process works, timelines, common mistakes, and how local businesses can comply smoothly.
CRS stands for Compulsory Registration Scheme. It is a scheme launched by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under which certain electronic, IT, and solar products must meet Indian safety standards before they are sold in the Indian market.
Under BIS CRS:
In simple words, CRS ensures that electronic products sold in Uttar Pradesh are safe, reliable, and compliant with Indian standards.
Uttar Pradesh is one of India’s fastest-growing industrial and trading states. Cities like Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and Lucknow have a high concentration of:
➔ Electronics manufacturers
➔ Importers and traders
➔ Warehouses and distributors
➔ E-commerce sellers
Because of this, BIS and customs authorities actively monitor CRS compliance in UP.
Without CRS registration, businesses may face:
⚠ Seizure of goods
⚠ Customs clearance rejection
⚠ Penalties under BIS Act
⚠ Ban on online marketplace listings
This is where many people get confused.
➤ Only the manufacturer can apply for CRS registration➤ Traders, sellers, and importers cannot apply directly➤ Foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)
If you are an importer or brand owner in Uttar Pradesh, you must ensure your manufacturer has a valid BIS CRS certificate for your product and brand.
Here are the key benefits of getting CRS registration done properly:
✔ Legal approval to sell electronic products in UP
✔ Smooth customs clearance for imported goods
✔ Increased trust with distributors and buyers
✔ Mandatory compliance for Amazon, Flipkart, and other platforms
✔ Protection from penalties and legal action
✔ Brand credibility in the Indian market
Below is a simple explanation of the CRS registration process so normal business owners can understand it without legal confusion.
First, confirm whether your product is listed under the Compulsory Registration Scheme and identify the applicable BIS standard.
The product sample is sent to a BIS-recognized laboratory for testing as per Indian standards.The test report must be issued within 90 days of application.
The manufacturer applies online through the BIS CRS login portal, uploading:
BIS reviews the application and documents. If any clarification is needed, queries are raised online.
Once approved, BIS issues a CRS Registration Number, allowing the product to be sold legally in Uttar Pradesh and across India.
⏱ Timeline:CRS registration usually takes 15–25 working days, depending on documentation quality.
After registration, proper labeling is mandatory.
⁃ The product and packaging must display:
⁃ BIS Standard Mark
⁃ CRS Registration Number
⁃ Manufacturer name
⁃ Model number
Incorrect or missing labeling can still lead to penalties, even after registration.
Many UP-based businesses face delays due to avoidable mistakes, such as:
● Wrong BIS standard selection
● Old or expired lab test reports
● Brand name mismatch
● Incorrect model series grouping
● Missing AIR authorization for foreign manufacturers
These issues often result in rejection or long delays.
If you import electronics into UP:
Customs authorities in Noida and other UP locations strictly verify CRS details during clearance.
‣ CRS registration is valid for 2 years
‣ Renewal must be filed before expiry
‣ No retesting required if product and standard remain unchanged
Timely renewal is important to avoid suspension.
