For electrical products to guarantee safety, quality, and dependability in India, the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification is required. It is under control via the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronics and the ISI Mark Scheme (for mandatory goods). Manufacturers have to follow pertinent Indian Standards (IS codes) include IS 16242 (Induction Cookers), IS 616 (Audio/Video Equipment), and IS 302 (Safety of Household Appliances). The procedure calls for application submission, product testing in labs approved by BIS, and factory inspection—for ISI Mark. Approved, the product gets a BIS license for Indian sales. Avoiding legal problems and market constraints depends on compliance.
