A Trial of Parallel Testing of Mobile Phone and Its Components by BIS
A Trial of Parallel Testing of Mobile Phone and Its Components by BIS,
BIS,
▍Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)
Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology released Electronics & Information Technology Goods-Requirement for Compulsory Registration Order I-Notified on 7th September, 2012, and it came into effect on 3rd October, 2013. Electronics &Information Technology Goods Requirement for Compulsory Registration, what is usually called BIS certification, is actually called CRS registration/certification. All electronic products in the compulsory registration product catalog imported to India or sold in the Indian market must be registered in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In November 2014, 15 kinds of compulsory registered products were added. New categories include: mobile phones, batteries, power banks, power supplies, LED lights and sales terminals, etc.
▍BIS Battery Test Standard
Nickel system cell/battery: IS 16046 (Part 1): 2018/ IEC62133-1: 2017
Lithium system cell/battery: IS 16046 (Part 2): 2018/ IEC62133-2: 2017
Coin cell/battery is included in CRS.

As early as July 26, 2022, the Indian Association of Industries put forward a proposal for parallel testing of mobile phones, wireless headphones and headsets as a way to shorten the time to market.In reference to Registration/Guidelines RG: 01 dated 15 December 2022 regarding ‘Guidelines for Grant of Licence (GoL) as per the Conformity Assessment Scheme-II of Schedule-II of BIS (Conformity
Assessment) Regulation, 2018’, BIS issued new guidelines for parallel testing of electronic products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) on December 16. As a more active consumer product, mobile phone will run parallel testing first in the first half of 2023. On December 19, BIS updated the guidelines to correct the date.These guidelines will enable parallel testing of electronic products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). These guidelines are voluntary in nature and the manufacturers will still have options for submitting application sequentially to BIS for registration as per the existing procedure, or testing all components in the final products in parallel according to the new guidelines.Products such as batteries can be tested without having to wait for a BIS certificate for a previously tested component. Under parallel testing, the lab will test the first component & issue test report. This test report no. along-with name of lab will be mentioned in the test report of the second component. This procedure will be followed for subsequent components & final product also. The battery & final product testing laboratory shall evaluate the previously tested components before generating the final test report.The registration of the components will be done sequentially by BIS. The licence will be processed
by BIS only after getting registration of all the components involved in the manufacturing of the final product.At the time of submission of sample to lab as well as submission of application to BIS for registration, the manufacturer would give an undertaking covering the following requirements.
