▍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.
▍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.
The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) has a certification scheme covering cells, batteries, adapters and hosts and other products used in wireless communication products (such as cell phones, laptops). Among them, CTIA certification for cells is particularly stringent. Besides the test of general safety performance, CTIA also focuses on the structural design of cells, the key procedures of the production process and its quality control. Although CTIA certification is not mandatory, major telecom operators in North America require their suppliers’ products to pass CTIA certification, therefore CTIA certificate can also be considered as an entry requirement for the North American communications market.CTIA’s certification standard has always referred to IEEE 1725 and IEEE 1625 published by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). Previously, IEEE 1725 applied to batteries without a series structure; while IEEE 1625 applied to batteries with two or more series connections. As CTIA battery certificate program has been using IEEE 1725 as the reference standard, after the issuance of new version of IEEE 1725-2021 in 2021, CTIA has also formed a working group to initiate a program of updating CTIA certification scheme.The working group extensively solicited opinions from laboratories, battery manufacturers, cell phone manufacturers, host manufacturers, adapter manufacturers, etc. In May of this year, the first meeting for CRD (Certification Requirements Document) draft was held. During the period, a special adapter group was set up to discuss the USB interface and other issues separately. After more than half a year, the last seminar was held this month. It confirms that the new certification plan of CTIA IEEE 1725 (CRD) will be issued in December, with a transition period of six months. This means that CTIA certification must be performed using the new version of the CRD document after June 2023. We, MCM, as a member of CTIA’s Test Laboratory (CATL), and CTIA’s Battery Working Group, proposed revisions to the new test plan and participated throughout the CTIA IEEE1725-2021 CRD discussions. The following are the important revisions:
