Introduction

Nepal boasts of an emerging electronics and IT industry with increased production and export of consumer goods. States of Bagmati, Lumbini, Gandaki, Karnali, and Salyan are becoming the industrial states, particularly in small-scale manufacturing, food processing, and electronics. The BIS CRS Registration is essential in getting access into the market by businesses in Nepal that sell in India. The Registration assures that it is doing things according to the Indian standards and enables the manufacturers to legally sell their products in India.

What is BIS CRS Registration for Nepalese Manufacturers?

BIS CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme) Registration is basically a mandatory approval for certain notified electronics and IT products in India, which have been covered under the Applicable Product Checklist. It ensures that these products meet Indian safety standards. Products under BIS CRS include mobile phones, laptops, LED lights, power banks, and other electronic gadgets listed in the CRS schedule. 

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which is India’s official authority for quality and safety, issues CRS registration to eligible manufacturers. The main purpose of BIS CRS registration is to make sure that electronic and IT products are safe, reliable, and compliant with Indian regulations. 

Who should apply for a BIS Registration in Nepal?

Any manufacturer or exporter in Nepal who wants to export and sell the notified electronic and IT products in India must obtain a CRS certificate. The application for the license is submitted through an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR). 

Note: Importers and traders (to whom you are exporting) cannot apply directly for BIS CRS Certification for your product. Manufacturers in Nepal are advised to provide the certificate to the Indian Importers so that they can get the customs clearance.

What is an AIR (Authorized Indian Representative)?

An Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) is a mandatory requirement for foreign manufacturers. Manufacturers in Nepal who are applying for a BIS CRS license in India should appoint an AIR to proceed with the application process. 

Since the companies do not have a physical presence in India, they must appoint an AIR to act as their official representative. The AIR is responsible for submitting the application, coordinating with BIS authorities, managing product testing and factory inspections, and ensuring compliance with Indian standards. They will act as a link between the Nepalese manufacturers and BIS.
