Certain products are mandatory to have BIS certification in India considering public health, safety and welfare. These products are covered under Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). The CRS is further divided in two classifications:
Scheme I (ISI Mark Scheme)
It includes about 107 products like cement, circuit breakers, electric iron, electric heaters, packaged drinking water, infant milk substitute etc. the manufacturers of these products need ISI certification before launching them into the market. The process of ISI certification is just like that of the BIS registration i.e. samples are sent for testing. On approval, BIS officers inspect the factory premises and on full satisfaction the ISI certification is done.
Scheme II (Registration Scheme)
It consists of about 50 products majorly including electronic items, information technology equipment, solar photovoltaic, secondary cells, batteries for photovoltaic etc. this scheme was brought in 2012 by Department of Electronics and Information Technology and BIS. It is now regulated by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology and the Bureau of Indian Standard.
