Guidelines for Marking Labels under BIS CRS Registration

Marking and labeling are key components of compliance under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). These guidelines ensure transparency, traceability, and consumer awareness. Whether you're a manufacturer or importer, adhering to these labeling rules is essential to maintain BIS certification validity and avoid penalties.

BIS Standard Mark with Registration Number Every product registered under BIS CRS must clearly display the BIS Standard Mark along with a valid Registration Number in the format (R-xxxxxxxx). This mark assures consumers that the product meets Indian safety standards.
Label Placement on Product, Packaging & Manual The BIS label must appear on the actual product, its packaging, and the accompanying user manual. This ensures the certification is visible at every stage, from purchase to usage.
Mandatory Product Details Labels should also include essential information such as the brand name, model number, name of the manufacturer, and country of origin. These details help in product identification and traceability.
Durability of Labels All labels must be durable, clearly legible, and non-removable under normal usage. Poor quality or missing labels can lead to non-compliance issues during inspections.
E-labeling for Certain Products E-labeling is permitted for specific electronic products like mobile phones and tablets—but only after approval from BIS. This helps maintain compliance without compromising on product design.
BIS Permission for Any Label Changes Any modification in the marking or label must be pre-approved by BIS. Unauthorized changes can result in the suspension of the BIS certificate.
