Introduction<\/h2>\n
Televisions are one of the most widely used electronic consumer products in India. Plasma, LCD and LED televisions contain power supply systems, display technology, audio circuits, processing electronics, communication interfaces and other electrical and electronic components. Therefore, compliance with applicable Indian Standards is important before covered television products are placed on the Indian market.<\/p>\n
The BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) product database lists Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of Screen Size 32″ and Above<\/strong> under IS 616:2017<\/strong>, and it also provides the option of IS 616:2017 & IS 18112:2025<\/strong> for the category. The implementation date for this original category is shown as 03 July 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
BIS has subsequently introduced IS 18112:2025 \u2013 Digital Television Receiver for Satellite Broadcast Transmission \u2013 Specification (First Revision)<\/strong>. The BIS CRS database separately lists Television Sets<\/strong> under IS 18112:2025, with an implementation date of 26 July 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The implementation timeline for IS 18112:2025 has also been extended by BIS to 26 January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
This makes current standard verification especially important for television manufacturers, importers and brands.<\/p>\n

What Is BIS CRS Certification for Televisions?<\/h2>\n
BIS CRS is a compulsory registration framework applicable to specified electronic and IT products.<\/p>\n
For covered television products, manufacturers are required to demonstrate compliance with the applicable Indian Standards through the prescribed testing and registration process.<\/p>\n
For Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of 32 inches and above, the relevant regulatory framework has historically been associated with IS 616<\/strong>, while IS 18112:2025<\/strong> introduces specific requirements for digital television receivers intended for satellite broadcast transmission.<\/p>\n
The exact standards applicable to a particular television depend on the product’s technical features and current BIS requirements.<\/p>\n
BIS Standards Applicable to 32″ and Above Televisions<\/h2>\n
The official BIS CRS database currently identifies the category as:<\/p>\n
Product:<\/strong> Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of Screen Size 32″ and Above<\/p>\n
Applicable Standard:<\/strong> IS 616:2017 OR IS 616:2017 & IS 18112:2025<\/p>\n
Original Implementation Date:<\/strong> 03 July 2013<\/p>\n
\n
IS 616:2017<\/h3>\n
IS 616:2017 relates to safety requirements for audio, video and similar electronic apparatus.<\/p>\n
BIS’s Uniform Test Report Formats page specifically lists Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of Screen Size 32″ and Above<\/strong> under IS 616:2010 and IS 616:2017.<\/p>\n
IS 18112:2025<\/h3>\n
IS 18112:2025 is titled:<\/p>\n
Digital Television Receiver for Satellite Broadcast Transmission \u2013 Specification (First Revision)<\/strong><\/p>\n
The standard was introduced to specify requirements for digital television receivers capable of receiving satellite broadcast transmissions. BIS laboratory records show testing under IS 18112:2025 for digital television receivers.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers should therefore determine whether their television incorporates the functionality covered by IS 18112 before deciding which testing route applies.<\/p>\n
Important Update for Television Manufacturers<\/h2>\n
The television compliance landscape has changed with the introduction of IS 18112:2025.<\/p>\n
The official BIS CRS database now shows:<\/p>\n
Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of Screen Size 32″ and Above \u2192 IS 616:2017 OR IS 616:2017 & IS 18112:2025<\/strong><\/p>\n
It also separately lists:<\/p>\n
Television Sets \u2192 IS 18112:2025 \u2192 26 July 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
BIS subsequently extended the implementation date of IS 18112:2025 to 26 January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Therefore, manufacturers should not rely only on older IS 616 test reports when planning a new television certification project. The product’s receiver functionality, model configuration and current BIS requirements should be reviewed before testing.<\/p>\n

For Plasma\/LCD\/LED Televisions of Screen Size 32″ and Above<\/strong>, the official BIS CRS database currently identifies IS 616:2017<\/strong> or IS 616:2017 & IS 18112:2025<\/strong>, with the original category implementation date of 03 July 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The introduction of IS 18112:2025 \u2013 Digital Television Receiver for Satellite Broadcast Transmission \u2013 Specification<\/strong> is particularly important for television models having the relevant satellite-reception functionality. BIS’s current database separately lists Television Sets under IS 18112:2025, and the implementation timeline has been extended to 26 January 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers should therefore verify the exact product configuration, applicable standard, laboratory scope and current implementation requirements before starting testing.<\/p>\n
