Authorized Indian Representatives (AIR) are required of foreign manufacturers. Approved, the product can carry the BIS CRS mark. Certification must be renewed and lasts two years. This system guarantees that Indian supplied wireless microphones satisfy legal requirements, therefore improving product dependability and safety.
