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.

From the website of WTO/TBT-SPS，we notice that there are 4 mandatory GB standards (draft for approval)
updated in November, which are relative to electronic appliances and batteries. Usually after the approval of WTO, the standards will be publiced soon.
The standard of “Lithium ion cells and batteries used in stationary electronic equipments – Safety technical
specification” will be released soon, which means that this is the fourth mandatory GB standard for lithium
batteries after GB 889 primary batteries, GB 31241 portable lithium batteries, and GB 38031 power batteries.
This standard applies to lithium-ion batteries and battery packs for stationary electronic equipment.
Stationary electronic equipment that falls within the scope of this standard are as follows:
a) Stationary information technology equipment (IT equipment)；
b) Stationary audio and video equipment (AV equipment) and similar equipment；
c) Stationary communication technology equipment (CT equipment)；
d) Stationary measurement control and laboratory electronic equipment and similar equipment, etc。
