BIS / CRS Registration for Sealed Secondary Cells / Batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications part 1 nickel systems

Sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, particularly those in the nickel system, represent a significant advancement in portable power storage technology. These rechargeable batteries are designed for use in a wide range of portable applications, from small consumer devices to industrial equipment. The nickel-based chemistry, including Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), offers several advantages, such as high energy density, extended cycle life, and reduced memory effect in the case of NiMH batteries.

These attributes make them ideal for applications like cordless phones, digital cameras, and portable power tools. Sealed nickel-based batteries are considered more environmentally friendly than their predecessors, such as lead-acid batteries, due to their reduced toxicity and improved recyclability. Their sealed design ensures safety, preventing leakage of electrolytes and allowing these batteries to be positioned in any orientation without risk of spillage.

IS 16046: 2018 is an Indian Standard that pertains to sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications, with Part 1 specifically focusing on nickel systems. These standards reduce the risk of battery-related incidents, such as fires or explosions, ensuring the safety of users. Manufacturers are often required to comply with these standards to meet regulatory requirements and ensure their products are legally compliant and safe for consumers.

Note: Manufacturers of sealed secondary cells or batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes for use in portable applications, with Part 1 specifically focusing on nickel systems, are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.

BIS/CRS Registration is a mandatory requirement for Sealed Secondary Cells/Batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes, specifically encompassing nickel systems for use in portable applications. This registration scheme aims to ensure that these batteries comply with stringent quality, safety, and performance standards as specified by the Bureau of Indian Standards. The primary objective of BIS/CRS Registration for Sealed Secondary Cells/Batteries is to guarantee that these products meet the prescribed standards, offering consumers reliable and safe battery solutions for various portable applications.

About BIS/CRS Registration

Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
