CRS Mark for Automatic Teller Cash Dispensing Machines

Under IS 13252 (Part 1), which outlines safety criteria for IT equipment, Automatic Teller Cash Dispensing Machines (ATMs) must have the BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) certificate.  Products must be tested in a BIS-approved lab by manufacturers, who then must submit an application using the BIS portal together with the necessary paperwork.  Before certification, the procedure consists in paperwork review, product evaluation, and compliance verification.  Authorized Indian Representatives (AIR) are required of foreign manufacturers.  ATMs approved can show the BIS Standard Mark, therefore guaranteeing regulatory compliance and safety in India.  This certification improves the market acceptance and product credibility.
