▍Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS)

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology released Electronics & Information Technology Goods-Requirement for Compulsory Registration Order I-Notified on 7^th September, 2012, and it came into effect on 3^rd 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.

▍Why MCM?

● We have been focused on Indian certification for more than 5 years and helped client obtain the world’s first battery BIS letter. And we have practical experiences and solid resource accumulation in BIS certification field.

● Former senior officers of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) are employed as certification consultant, to ensure case efficiency and remove the risk of registration number cancellation.

● Equipped with strong comprehensive problem solving skills in certification, we integrate indigenous resources in India. MCM keeps good communication with BIS authorities to provide clients with the most cutting-edge, most professional and most authoritative certification information and service.

● We serve leading companies in various industries and earn a good reputation in the field, which make us deeply trusted and supported by clients.

In August, the national standard Lithium ion Batteries for Electric Power Storage (GB/T 36276) revised by the National Technical Committee on Electric Power Storage of Standardization has been completed through three rounds of discussion and revision. At present, this draft has been open to the public for comment. The new version, which is expected to be released next year, will replace GB/T 36276:2018 version. GB/T 36276 is about the requirements of lithium-ion batteries for electric power storage applications, covering design, electrical performance, mechanical performance, thermal performance and other requirements. This standard focuses on the safety and quality of the large-scale application of lithium-ion batteries in the field of electric power storage. The implementation of this standard is helpful to ensure the safe operation of electrochemical energy storage power stations.
New added power characteristics and curve test: the measured charge and discharge energy under different charge and discharge powers should not be lower than the guaranteed value of charge and discharge energy under the power, and the curve of battery energy efficiency varying with power should be provided.
Overload charge and discharge performance test: formerly known as the rate charge and discharge performance test. The test of 4 times rated charge and discharge power is deleted, only the test of rated charge and discharge power and 2 times rated charge and discharge power are retained.
