BIS revised the Handlamps standard from IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013<\/strong> to IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026<\/strong>. The original March 2026 implementation guideline provided a concurrent-running deadline of 02 August 2026. However, BIS subsequently issued a circular dated 31 July 2026<\/strong> extending concurrent running of the old and revised standards until 02 February 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Therefore, as of September 2026, the transition for LED Hand Lamps is:<\/p>\n

Existing Standard:<\/strong> IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013
\nRevised Standard:<\/strong> IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026
\nIEC Reference:<\/strong> IEC 60598-2-8:2013
\nLast Date of Concurrent Running:<\/strong> 02 February 2027<\/p>\n

Manufacturers planning a new CRS application or an update to an existing registration should assess whether the application should be processed under the 2013 standard during the permitted transition period or directly under the 2026 standard.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
What is BIS CRS Certification for LED Hand Lamps?<\/h1>\n
BIS CRS certification is a registration-based conformity system for specified electronic and electrical products. For products covered by CRS, the manufacturer must demonstrate conformity through testing at a BIS-recognized laboratory and then apply to BIS for registration.<\/p>\n
LED Hand Lamps are specifically listed under the CRS framework against IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Under CRS, the manufacturer receives a unique registration number, commonly referred to as the R-Number<\/strong>, after successful scrutiny and registration.<\/p>\n
Unlike BIS Scheme-I products that generally use the ISI Mark, products under CRS use the Registration Mark \/ self-declaration conformity marking<\/strong> as prescribed under the CRS requirements. BIS states that registered electronic products are marked with the Registration Mark.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
BIS Standard for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
The applicable product-specific standard is:<\/p>\n
IS 10322 (Part 5\/Section 6):2013 \u2014 Luminaires, Part 5: Particular Requirements, Section 6: Handlamps<\/strong><\/p>\n
BIS’s official Uniform Test Report Format identifies Handlamps under this standard and includes a dedicated compliance test report format for the product.<\/p>\n
The BIS CRS standard table currently contains both:<\/p>\n
\n
IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013 \u2013 LED Handlamps<\/strong><\/li>\n
IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026 \u2013 LED Handlamps<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The 2026 edition is identified by BIS as the First Revision<\/strong> of the Handlamps section.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Why is BIS CRS Registration Required for LED Hand Lamps?<\/h1>\n
The Electronics and IT Goods compulsory registration framework includes LED Hand Lamps under IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013. BIS’s current Scheme-II information continues to identify LED Hand Lamps under this standard.<\/p>\n
For a manufacturer or importer, appropriate CRS registration is therefore an important compliance requirement before placing covered products in the Indian market.<\/p>\n
The compulsory registration framework also provides for requirements relating to conformity, marking, manufacturing, import and distribution, with specific provisions and exemptions for export goods.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
What Products are Covered?<\/h1>\n
The certification applies to LED Hand Lamps falling within the applicable scope of the relevant handlamp standard.<\/p>\n
A handlamp is a portable luminaire designed to be held in the hand, hooked up or placed on a surface depending on its construction and intended use. The 2013 test report format specifically evaluates handlamps according to classifications including:<\/p>\n
\n
Class II or Class III<\/li>\n
Rewirable or non-rewirable construction<\/li>\n
Ordinary or rough-service application<\/li>\n
Applicable degree of protection<\/li>\n
Construction and supply arrangement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The official BIS test report format contains dedicated checkpoints for these classifications.<\/p>\n
Because product design can vary significantly, the final scope of a CRS application should be checked against the exact construction, power supply arrangement, enclosure, wiring and intended application of the model.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Major Safety Requirements for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
Under the 2013 BIS test report format, LED Hand Lamps are evaluated across a broad range of safety requirements.<\/p>\n
1. General Test Requirements<\/h2>\n
The laboratory first establishes the applicable test conditions and product characteristics before conducting the required product tests.<\/p>\n
The BIS TRF provides for assessment of general test requirements as well as product-specific classification.<\/p>\n
2. Classification of the Handlamp<\/h2>\n
The handlamp may need to be assessed for:<\/p>\n
\n
Protection against electric shock classification<\/li>\n
Degree of IP protection<\/li>\n
Suitability for particular mounting conditions<\/li>\n
Normal-use or rough-service classification<\/li>\n
Class II or Class III construction<\/li>\n
Rewirable or non-rewirable configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These classifications can affect the applicable testing requirements.<\/p>\n
3. Marking Requirements<\/h2>\n
Correct product marking is an important part of the BIS evaluation.<\/p>\n
The BIS TRF checks mandatory marking, marking position, symbols, additional information and other product-specific marking requirements. It also addresses issues such as operating information, special conditions, supply characteristics and relevant warnings.<\/p>\n
After CRS registration, the prescribed Registration Mark or self-declaration statement must also be displayed in accordance with BIS requirements. BIS states that the marking must be easily visible, legible, indelible and non-removable, subject to the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n
4. Construction<\/h2>\n
Construction is a major part of handlamp testing.<\/p>\n
The BIS 2013 TRF checks construction-related matters including components, wiring paths, lamp-holder arrangements where applicable, terminals, switches, insulating linings and sleeves, cable entries, protective arrangements and other constructional requirements.<\/p>\n
For handlamps, particular attention should be given to:<\/p>\n
\n
Mechanical integrity<\/li>\n
Handle design<\/li>\n
Insulation<\/li>\n
Internal wiring<\/li>\n
Cable entry<\/li>\n
Switches<\/li>\n
Lamp or LED assembly<\/li>\n
Protective covers<\/li>\n
Terminals<\/li>\n
Strain relief and cord anchorage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
5. Creepage Distances and Clearances<\/h2>\n
Adequate creepage and clearance distances are necessary to reduce electrical insulation and arcing risks.<\/p>\n
These requirements form part of the official 2013 BIS test report format for handlamps.<\/p>\n
6. Provision for Earthing<\/h2>\n
Where applicable, the handlamp’s earthing arrangements are assessed for conformity.<\/p>\n
The BIS TRF separately identifies the provision for earthing as a compliance area.<\/p>\n
7. Terminals<\/h2>\n
Screw terminals and screwless terminals, where applicable, are assessed against their relevant construction requirements.<\/p>\n
The official test format includes checks for terminals, supply connections, conductor arrangements and terminal security.<\/p>\n
8. External and Internal Wiring<\/h2>\n
The wiring system is evaluated to ensure that the selected cables, insulation, connections and mechanical protection are appropriate.<\/p>\n
For the 2013 handlamp TRF, the external and internal wiring assessment includes:<\/p>\n
\n
Supply connection<\/li>\n
External wiring<\/li>\n
Cable type<\/li>\n
Nominal cross-sectional area<\/li>\n
Cable entries<\/li>\n
Insulating bushings<\/li>\n
Cord anchorage<\/li>\n
Internal conductor arrangement<\/li>\n
Insulation<\/li>\n
Protection against mechanical damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The TRF also includes requirements concerning flexible cable\/cord construction and attachment arrangements.<\/p>\n
9. Protection Against Electric Shock<\/h2>\n
Protection against electrical shock is one of the most important safety evaluations.<\/p>\n
The 2013 BIS TRF checks whether live parts are accessible and whether protection is maintained under relevant conditions. It also assesses portable luminaires in unfavourable positions and relevant Class II\/Class III protection arrangements.<\/p>\n
10. Endurance and Thermal Tests<\/h2>\n
The handlamp must be assessed for endurance and thermal performance under applicable operating conditions.<\/p>\n
The BIS test format includes:<\/p>\n
\n
Endurance testing<\/li>\n
Normal-operation thermal testing<\/li>\n
Abnormal-operation thermal testing<\/li>\n
Failed lamp\/control-gear conditions where applicable<\/li>\n
Temperature measurements<\/li>\n
Safety after endurance testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The test report specifically checks whether the product remains safe and whether components, markings and construction remain acceptable after the applicable endurance evaluation.<\/p>\n
11. Resistance to Dust and Moisture<\/h2>\n
Where an IP rating applies, the appropriate ingress-protection tests are conducted.<\/p>\n
The BIS TRF includes testing for:<\/p>\n
\n
Solid objects<\/li>\n
Dust<\/li>\n
Water\/moisture<\/li>\n
Humidity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The test report also checks post-test electrical strength and whether hazardous water entry or contact with live parts occurs. A 48-hour humidity test is included in the 2013 format.<\/p>\n
12. Insulation Resistance and Electric Strength<\/h2>\n
Insulation resistance testing is carried out between applicable conductive parts, including relevant live parts, metal parts and other accessible or associated parts.<\/p>\n
Electric strength testing is also included in the BIS compliance format.<\/p>\n
13. Resistance to Heat, Fire and Tracking<\/h2>\n
The 2013 handlamp TRF includes several fire and material safety assessments such as:<\/p>\n
\n
Ball-pressure test<\/li>\n
Needle-flame test<\/li>\n
Glow-wire test<\/li>\n
Tracking test<\/li>\n
Pressure test on the handle at the applicable temperature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The TRF identifies a 10-second needle-flame test and a 650\u00b0C glow-wire test within the applicable testing section.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
BIS CRS Certification Process for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
The registration process generally follows these stages.<\/p>\n
Step 1 \u2013 Identify the Applicable Standard<\/h3>\n
Confirm the exact product category, applicable IS standard, model range and technical configuration.<\/p>\n
For the current transition, assess whether the product is being processed under IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013<\/strong> or the revised IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Step 2 \u2013 Select a BIS-Recognized Laboratory<\/h3>\n
The LED Hand Lamp sample must be submitted to a laboratory recognized by BIS for the applicable CRS testing.<\/p>\n
BIS instructs applicants to submit products for testing to a BIS-recognized laboratory.<\/p>\n
Step 3 \u2013 Generate the Test Request<\/h3>\n
Applicants generate a Test Request through the CRS portal and select an approved laboratory.<\/p>\n
BIS’s current registration instructions specify entering sample details, selecting an approved laboratory and awaiting confirmation from the laboratory.<\/p>\n
Step 4 \u2013 Submit the Sample<\/h3>\n
The sample and Test Request must be sent to the selected laboratory within the prescribed period.<\/p>\n
BIS currently states that the sample and Test Request should reach the laboratory within 60 days of Test Request generation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Step 5 \u2013 Product Testing<\/h3>\n
The recognized laboratory evaluates the sample against the applicable requirements and prepares the BIS test report.<\/p>\n
Step 6 \u2013 Verify the Test Report<\/h3>\n
The applicant should carefully verify the:<\/p>\n
\n
Manufacturer name<\/li>\n
Factory address<\/li>\n
Brand<\/li>\n
Model numbers<\/li>\n
Product description<\/li>\n
Rating<\/li>\n
Applicable standard<\/li>\n
Test results<\/li>\n
Representative models<\/li>\n
Marking information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Step 7 \u2013 Submit CRS Application Online<\/h3>\n
BIS requires the application to be filed online using the prescribed registration process.<\/p>\n
The BIS instructions state that the test report should be not more than 90 days old at the time of online submission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Step 8 \u2013 Submit Hard Copy Documents<\/h3>\n
The hard copy application, original test report and prescribed affidavit-cum-undertaking must be submitted within 15 days of online submission<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Step 9 \u2013 BIS Scrutiny<\/h3>\n
BIS scrutinizes the application and may raise queries.<\/p>\n
Applicants must respond to the queries and resolve any shortcomings identified during scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Step 10 \u2013 CRS Registration<\/h3>\n
After satisfactory scrutiny and completion of the requirements, BIS grants the CRS Registration.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Test Report Validity for BIS CRS<\/h1>\n
For CRS applications, BIS states that the test report should not be more than 90 days old<\/strong> at the time of online submission.<\/p>\n
This makes proper coordination between testing, report issuance and application submission important.<\/p>\n
A manufacturer should avoid completing laboratory testing too early and then delaying the CRS application beyond the report validity period.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Sample Requirements for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
The exact number and configuration of samples should be confirmed with the selected BIS-recognized laboratory based on the particular product design and model family.<\/p>\n
The official BIS 2013 Uniform Test Report Format identifies representative models and multiple product configurations, but the searchable TRF itself does not provide a single universal sample quantity that can safely be applied to every LED Hand Lamp application.<\/p>\n
Before dispatching samples, it is therefore advisable to confirm:<\/p>\n
\n
Number of complete samples<\/li>\n
Accessories to be supplied<\/li>\n
Charger\/adapter requirements, where applicable<\/li>\n
Batteries, if integral or supplied<\/li>\n
Different electrical ratings<\/li>\n
Different construction variants<\/li>\n
Representative models<\/li>\n
Label and packaging samples<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Model and Series Consideration<\/h1>\n
Manufacturers often produce several LED Hand Lamp models under one brand with variations in:<\/p>\n
\n
Wattage<\/li>\n
Dimensions<\/li>\n
Housing material<\/li>\n
Battery capacity<\/li>\n
Input supply<\/li>\n
LED arrangement<\/li>\n
Handle configuration<\/li>\n
Charging method<\/li>\n
IP rating<\/li>\n
Switch configuration<\/li>\n
Colour or cosmetic design<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A proper model-family assessment helps determine which models should be tested and which variants may be covered through the applicable representative-model approach.<\/p>\n
Each manufacturing location is separately relevant for CRS registration. BIS’s CRS FAQ explains that the unique registration number is tied to a unique manufacturing location, and a separate location requires a separate application supported by product testing from that location.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Documents Required for BIS CRS Certification<\/h1>\n
Typical documentation for a LED Hand Lamp CRS application may include:<\/p>\n
\n
Manufacturer’s company registration details<\/li>\n
Factory address and manufacturing details<\/li>\n
Business or factory licence establishing manufacturing activity<\/li>\n
Brand\/trademark information<\/li>\n
Product technical specification<\/li>\n
Product photographs<\/li>\n
Product label\/marking artwork<\/li>\n
Model and model-family details<\/li>\n
Manufacturing process information, where required<\/li>\n
Authorized signatory details<\/li>\n
BIS-recognized laboratory test report<\/li>\n
Affidavit-cum-undertaking in the prescribed format<\/li>\n
Authorization documents, where applicable<\/li>\n
Import\/manufacturer documents for foreign applicants<\/li>\n
Authorized Indian Representative documents for eligible foreign applicants<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
BIS specifically requires Indian applicants to submit the prescribed Format C<\/strong> affidavit-cum-undertaking. Foreign applicants without an Indian liaison office or branch must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)<\/strong> and follow the prescribed foreign-applicant documentation requirements.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
BIS CRS for Foreign Manufacturers of LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
Foreign manufacturers can also obtain BIS CRS Registration.<\/p>\n
Where a foreign applicant does not have a liaison office or branch office in India, BIS requires appointment of an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR)<\/strong> in accordance with the applicable BIS requirements.<\/p>\n
The AIR acts as the designated Indian contact for the CRS application and related regulatory communication.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
CRS Marking Requirements for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
After registration, the registered manufacturer must use the prescribed CRS marking.<\/p>\n
BIS’s CRS marking guideline states that the registered user may use the Registration Standard Mark or the prescribed self-declaration wording along with the registration number. The marking should be easily visible, legible, indelible and non-removable.<\/p>\n
Where product-size limitations make marking on the product impractical, BIS guidance permits placement on the packaging in accordance with the applicable requirements.<\/p>\n
The exact IS number used for marking must correspond to the applicable standard under which registration is granted.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
2013 Standard to 2026 Standard \u2013 What Manufacturers Should Know<\/h1>\n
The revised standard is particularly important for manufacturers currently holding or seeking CRS registration.<\/p>\n
BIS’s March 2026 guideline states that the Handlamps standard changed from:<\/p>\n
IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2013 \u2192 IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
The 2026 edition is associated with IEC 60598-2-8:2013<\/strong> in the BIS transition document.<\/p>\n
The original transition deadline was 02 August 2026, but BIS’s 31 July 2026 circular extended the concurrent-running period until 02 February 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
For Section 6 specifically, BIS’s March 2026 annexure lists the change as:<\/p>\n
\u201cReferences to IS 10322 (Part 1) have been updated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
At the same time, BIS lists several changes in the revised IS 10322 Part 1:2026, including updated marking requirements, IPX9, EMF safety requirements, PELV provisions, modified touch-current\/touch-voltage provisions, battery\/EDLC requirements and extended photobiological requirements.<\/p>\n
Manufacturers should therefore evaluate both the product-specific Section 6 requirements and the applicable general requirements of revised IS 10322 Part 1.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Is BIS CRS Certification Required for LED Hand Lamps Imported into India?<\/h1>\n
Yes, LED Hand Lamps are included in the CRS framework.<\/p>\n
For foreign manufacturers, the CRS registration process generally includes testing, BIS application and appointment of an AIR where the foreign applicant does not maintain an eligible Indian liaison office or branch.<\/p>\n
Importers should ensure that the foreign manufacturer’s applicable CRS registration and product\/model details are in place before commercial import and sale.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
BIS Testing Charges for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
Testing charges vary considerably depending on the laboratory, applicable standard version, test scope, exclusions and product configuration.<\/p>\n
BIS LIMS currently shows examples for IS 10322 (Part 5\/Sec 6):2026<\/strong> including:<\/p>\n
\n
\u20b935,000<\/li>\n
\u20b950,000<\/li>\n
\u20b955,000<\/li>\n
\u20b985,000<\/li>\n
\u20b999,500<\/li>\n
\u20b91,15,000<\/li>\n
\u20b91,50,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These displayed laboratory charges are exclusive of taxes<\/strong>, and individual labs may have exclusions or additional charges for specific testing facilities.<\/p>\n
For the 2013 standard, BIS LIMS also displays laboratory-specific testing charges; one current listing shows \u20b945,000 for IS 10322 Part 5\/Sec 6:2013, while another laboratory listing has a substantially different breakup. This demonstrates why a lab-wise quotation should be taken before budgeting.<\/p>\n
BIS Government Fees<\/h3>\n
The published CRS fee schedule lists:<\/p>\n
\n
Application Fee: \u20b91,000<\/li>\n
Application Processing Fee: \u20b950,000, including one test report<\/li>\n
Annual Registration Fee: \u20b91,000 per year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For a two-year registration period, the published structure totals \u20b953,000 before applicable taxes<\/strong>, excluding laboratory testing and consultancy charges. The fee schedule should be rechecked on the BIS portal before payment because government fees can be revised.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
How Much Does Complete BIS CRS Certification for LED Hand Lamps Cost?<\/h1>\n
The total cost generally consists of:<\/p>\n
Laboratory Testing Charges + BIS Government Fees + Consultancy\/Professional Charges + Applicable Taxes + Any Additional Testing\/Report Charges<\/strong><\/p>\n
Because laboratory charges vary substantially, an exact all-inclusive amount cannot be responsibly stated without checking the product model and selected BIS-recognized laboratory.<\/p>\n
A cost assessment should consider:<\/p>\n
\n
Number of representative models<\/li>\n
2013 vs 2026 standard<\/li>\n
Laboratory scope<\/li>\n
Additional applicable tests<\/li>\n
Additional test reports<\/li>\n
Model inclusion<\/li>\n
Foreign manufacturer\/AIR requirements<\/li>\n
Product redesign or retesting requirements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
BIS CRS Certification Timeline for LED Hand Lamps<\/h1>\n
The complete timeline depends on laboratory testing, report preparation, documentation and BIS scrutiny.<\/p>\n
The BIS CRS website states a normal time of 20 working days for grant of Registration<\/strong>, while delays can arise from incomplete applications, queries or delayed responses.<\/p>\n
The overall practical timeline therefore normally includes:<\/p>\n
Technical review \u2192 Sample preparation \u2192 Laboratory testing \u2192 Test report \u2192 Online CRS application \u2192 Hard-copy submission \u2192 BIS scrutiny \u2192 Query resolution \u2192 Registration<\/strong><\/p>\n
Manufacturers should also remember that the test report must be within the applicable 90-day validity window when the application is submitted online.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
