Introduction<\/h2>\n
Telephone Answering Machines are electronic communication equipment designed to automatically receive and record incoming telephone messages when the user is unavailable. Manufacturers and importers supplying such products in India need to consider the applicable BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) requirements.<\/p>\n
The BIS CRS product list identifies Telephone Answering Machines<\/strong> under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/strong>, with the date of implementation shown as 03 July 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
BIS also provides a Uniform Test Report Format specifically for Telephone Answering Machines under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010.<\/p>\n
However, there is an important current regulatory development. BIS’s current Scheme-II page lists Telephone Answering Machines under IS\/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023<\/strong>, reflecting the migration of several audio\/video, information and communication technology products from the older IS 13252\/IS 616 standards. Manufacturers should therefore verify the latest applicable requirement and transition position before testing or filing a new application.<\/p>\n
This article explains the BIS CRS requirements, testing process, documentation, cost factors, registration procedure and consultancy support for Telephone Answering Machines.<\/p>\n

What Is a Telephone Answering Machine?<\/h2>\n
A Telephone Answering Machine is an electronic device that automatically answers incoming telephone calls and records voice messages when the intended recipient is unavailable.<\/p>\n
Depending on the design, a Telephone Answering Machine may include features such as:<\/p>\n
\n
Automatic call answering<\/li>\n
Incoming voice message recording<\/li>\n
Message playback<\/li>\n
Outgoing greeting\/message recording<\/li>\n
Message storage<\/li>\n
Call-related controls<\/li>\n
Telephone-line connectivity<\/li>\n
Mains or battery operation<\/li>\n
Digital memory<\/li>\n
Display or indicator functions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The exact classification of a product should be determined from its technical construction and intended function before selecting the applicable BIS standard.<\/p>\n
What Is BIS CRS Certification?<\/h2>\n
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) operates the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for specified electronic and IT products.<\/p>\n
Under CRS, covered products are required to demonstrate conformity with the applicable Indian Standard through testing at an appropriately recognized laboratory and completion of the BIS registration process.<\/p>\n
BIS CRS is different from the traditional BIS ISI Mark licensing scheme. CRS primarily follows a registration-based conformity route for products covered under the applicable regulatory order.<\/p>\n
Applicable Standard for Telephone Answering Machines<\/h2>\n
Historically, Telephone Answering Machines have been listed under:<\/p>\n
IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/strong><\/p>\n
Title:<\/strong> Information Technology Equipment \u2013 Safety \u2013 Part 1: General Requirements<\/p>\n
The BIS CRS product list identifies Telephone Answering Machines under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and shows 03 July 2013<\/strong> as the implementation date.<\/p>\n
The BIS Uniform Test Report Formats page also lists a dedicated Telephone Answering Machines test report format under IS 13252 (Part 1):2010.<\/p>\n
Important Current BIS Standard Update<\/h3>\n
BIS’s current Scheme-II Registration Scheme page lists Telephone Answering Machines under IS\/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023<\/strong>, titled:<\/p>\n
Audio\/Video, Information and Communication Technology Equipment \u2013 Part 1: Safety Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n
The same current BIS page indicates migration to IS\/IEC 62368 Part 1:2023 from the earlier IS 13252 Part 1:2010 and IS 616:2017 framework for relevant products.<\/p>\n
Therefore, manufacturers should not automatically assume that an old IS 13252:2010 test report is sufficient for a new application. The applicable current standard and transition requirements should be verified with BIS before initiating testing.<\/p>\n
BIS CRS Implementation Date<\/h2>\n
For the legacy CRS listing:<\/p>\n
Product:<\/strong> Telephone Answering Machines<\/p>\n
Indian Standard:<\/strong> IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/p>\n
Date of Implementation:<\/strong> 03 July 2013<\/p>\n
This information is listed on the official BIS CRS product database.<\/p>\n
Who Needs BIS CRS Registration?<\/h2>\n
BIS CRS compliance can be relevant to manufacturers and importers dealing with covered electronic products in the Indian market.<\/p>\n
This may include:<\/p>\n
\n
Indian manufacturers<\/li>\n
Foreign manufacturers<\/li>\n
Importers<\/li>\n
Brand owners, where applicable<\/li>\n
Companies manufacturing electronic communication equipment<\/li>\n
Businesses importing Telephone Answering Machines for sale in India<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The exact legal responsibility depends on the applicable order and the role of the entity in the supply chain.<\/p>\n
Products That May Fall Within This Category<\/h2>\n
The product should be assessed based on its actual design and functionality.<\/p>\n
Examples may include electronic telephone answering equipment that provides:<\/p>\n
\n
Automatic telephone answering<\/li>\n
