Write to us and a named contact replies. **Q: Does my product need BIS CRS registration?** A: Only if the product and its Indian Standard appear in the official CRS list on this page. A similar product that is not listed may not need it, or may fall under another scheme. Send us the product and its standard and an expert reviews it. Needs expert review **Q: Is a CE or FCC certificate enough for India?** A: No. For a product on the notified list, foreign certificates do not replace BIS registration. See the source under this page. Needs expert review **Q: Can I use a test report from a laboratory in my own country?** A: BIS decides which laboratories and reports it accepts. We confirm what applies to your product before any testing starts. Needs expert review **Q: I manufacture outside India. What is different for me?** A: A foreign manufacturer usually applies through an Authorised Indian Representative; an expert confirms whether that applies to you. The role Sanmayu takes in your case is confirmed in writing before work starts. Needs expert review **Q: Does Sanmayu grant the registration?** A: No. BIS grants it. Sanmayu is an independent consultancy that supports preparation, test coordination and filing, and is not affiliated with BIS. Needs expert review **Q: What happens after registration?** A: The registration has to be kept valid. A change of model, standard or factory can need an update, and renewal is needed before expiry. The terms are in your registration and are confirmed at review. Needs expert review
