India Compulsory Registration Scheme & Electrical Standards

WHAT IS INDIA’S COMPULSORY REGISTRATION SCHEME?

There is a wide range of Indian electrical standards that ensure high levels of safety and quality for consumers and industry. India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s (MEITY) Compulsory Registration Scheme represents these standards and requires mandatory certification for numerous electronic products imported by foreign firms.

To achieve certification, you must first choose a local representative to work with and then have tests conducted by an in-country, recognised laboratory. Registration is achieved by successfully demonstrating compliance to the MEITY requirements, using a testing laboratory recognised by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and accredited by the Indian National Accreditation Bureau of Laboratories (NABL) to ISO 17025.

TÜV SÜD India provides a one-stop solution for compliance with all Indian standards for electrical goods and appliances.

WHY IS INDIA'S COMPULSORY REGISTRATION SCHEME IMPORTANT?

Consumer electronics brands hoping to access India’s enormous market are obliged to register and certify their goods against India’s Compulsory Registration Scheme. It is a legal requirement – without which you are prohibited from selling any of the products covered by the regulation.

Compliance also demonstrates to consumers that your product is safe, thereby enhancing your brand and reputation in India.
