Introduction Smart speakers have become an important category of connected consumer electronic products, combining audio functions with technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, voice assistants, microphones, touch controls, displays and smart-home connectivity. In India, Smart Speakers (with and without Display) are covered under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). The current BIS Scheme-II listing identifies the […]
Introduction Television sets are regulated products in India, and manufacturers and importers need to comply with the applicable requirements under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) before placing covered products on the Indian market. For Television Sets, the applicable product standard is IS 18112:2025 – Digital Television Receiver for Satellite Broadcast […]
Introduction Extended Reality (XR) technologies are transforming the way users interact with digital content by combining physical and virtual environments. The term Extended Reality generally includes technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR). XR products are increasingly used in gaming, education, industrial training, healthcare applications, enterprise solutions, simulation, entertainment […]
Introduction Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules are an important category of solar technology used for electricity generation in utility-scale, commercial, industrial and other photovoltaic applications. Unlike conventional crystalline-silicon modules, thin-film modules use semiconductor layers deposited onto a substrate, with technologies including amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), and CIGS. For manufacturers and importers supplying these products […]
Introduction Photovoltaic (PV) power systems are an important part of India’s growing renewable-energy infrastructure. Solar power systems use power converters and inverters to convert, control and manage electrical energy generated by photovoltaic modules for different applications. Because these devices perform important electrical conversion and control functions, their safety is a significant consideration. The Bureau of […]
Introduction CCTV cameras and CCTV recorders are widely used for security, surveillance, monitoring and access-control applications in residential, commercial, industrial and institutional environments. Because these products are electronic information technology equipment, applicable safety and conformity requirements must be fulfilled before they are placed in the Indian market. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has included […]
Introduction Adapters for household and similar electrical appliances are widely used to supply electrical power to appliances and equipment used in homes, offices, commercial establishments and other locations. Because adapters are electrical products connected to the mains supply, their electrical construction, insulation, protection against electric shock, temperature performance, mechanical strength and other safety characteristics are […]
Introduction USB Driven Barcode Readers, Barcode Scanners, Iris Scanners and Optical Fingerprint Scanners are widely used in retail, logistics, warehousing, banking, healthcare, access control, identity verification, attendance systems, point-of-sale applications and other information technology environments. These electronic products contain electrical and electronic circuits and therefore need to comply with applicable safety requirements when covered under […]
Introduction Smart watches have become an important category of connected electronic products, combining functions such as timekeeping, notifications, activity monitoring, wireless connectivity, displays and other digital features in a wearable device. For manufacturers and importers supplying smart watches in India, compliance with the applicable Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) requirements is important. Smart Watches are […]
Introduction Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules are widely used in solar power generation systems for residential, commercial, industrial and utility-scale applications. Because these modules operate outdoors for long periods and are exposed to electrical, thermal, mechanical and environmental stresses, compliance with applicable Indian Standards is important for product safety, reliability and performance. For manufacturers […]
Introduction Recessed LED Luminaires are lighting products designed to be installed within or recessed into ceilings, walls or other mounting surfaces. They are widely used in residential buildings, offices, hotels, retail stores, commercial interiors, hospitals, educational institutions and architectural lighting applications. Because these products contain electrical components and are installed within or close to building […]
Introduction LED Luminaires for Road and Street Lighting are widely used for roads, streets, highways, public outdoor areas, tunnels, infrastructure projects and other applications where reliable outdoor illumination is required. Because these luminaires are normally installed outdoors and are exposed to electrical, thermal, mechanical and environmental conditions, appropriate product safety and construction requirements are important.
