Introduction<\/h2>\n
Set Top Boxes are widely used for receiving, processing and displaying television and digital broadcast signals. These products contain electronic and electrical components that must meet applicable safety requirements before they are placed on the Indian market.<\/p>\n
In India, Set Top Boxes have been covered under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)<\/strong>. Historical BIS CRS documentation identifies Set Top Box against IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/strong>, titled Information Technology Equipment \u2013 Safety \u2013 Part 1: General Requirements<\/em>. BIS also provides a dedicated Uniform Test Report Format for Set Top Boxes under this standard.<\/p>\n
However, manufacturers and importers should pay attention to the current BIS regulatory position. BIS’s present Scheme-II listing shows Set Top Box under IS\/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023<\/strong>, reflecting the broader transition from older standards such as IS 13252 (Part 1):2010. Therefore, the applicable standard should be verified before starting a new CRS application or planning an inclusion\/modification.<\/p>\n
Qualitance India provides end-to-end BIS CRS consultancy support for manufacturers, importers and businesses dealing with regulated electronic products.<\/p>\n

What Is BIS CRS Certification for Set Top Box?<\/h2>\n
BIS CRS, or the Compulsory Registration Scheme, is a conformity assessment framework under which specified electronic and IT products are required to comply with applicable Indian Standards before being manufactured, imported, stored for sale, sold or distributed in India.<\/p>\n
For Set Top Boxes, BIS has historically specified IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/strong> as the applicable safety standard in CRS documents. The official BIS UTRF listing specifically includes SET TOP BOX \u2013 IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
The product is required to undergo testing at a BIS-recognized laboratory, followed by submission of the required documents and test report for BIS registration.<\/p>\n
Applicable BIS Standard for Set Top Box<\/h2>\n

Whether models can be covered through an existing registration or require additional action depends on the applicable BIS requirements.<\/p>\n
BIS Marking and Product Information<\/h2>\n
Once the applicable BIS registration requirements are fulfilled, the manufacturer must follow the prescribed marking and registration requirements.<\/p>\n
Product information should be consistent with the approved registration details.<\/p>\n
Incorrect marking, model information or registration details can create compliance problems after certification.<\/p>\n
Is Factory Inspection Required for BIS CRS Set Top Box?<\/h2>\n
BIS CRS should not be confused with the traditional BIS ISI Mark product certification process.<\/p>\n
CRS is primarily based on product testing and registration rather than assuming that a factory inspection is mandatory for every product application.<\/p>\n
However, BIS may impose or require specific compliance actions depending on the applicable scheme, product category, regulatory provisions or case.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the exact requirements should always be checked for the current product and standard.<\/p>\n
