Automatic Data Processing Machines (ADPMs) encompass electronic devices like desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and servers that play a crucial role in data processing. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has established IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 as the technical standard for registering ADPMs in India. As the national standards body, BIS ensures that these electronic products adhere to specific quality, safety, and performance standards before they can be sold or imported within the country. Manufacturers or importers of ADPMs are required to undergo the BIS registration process to demonstrate their compliance with the standard. This entails rigorous testing of the products in accredited laboratories to verify their adherence to the specified criteria. Once the ADPMs successfully pass the testing and meet the necessary standards, the BIS certification mark can be affixed to the products, signifying their compliance.

BIS registration for ADPMs is mandatory in India, and failure to comply can lead to legal repercussions, including penalties and the prohibition of product sales in the Indian market. The registration process serves as a safeguard for consumers, assuring the safety, reliability, and quality of ADPMs available within the country.

BIS REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

To register your product under the CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), you must fulfill the following requirements: You need to be a Manufacturer and not a Seller: It is important to note that the Indian BIS License is granted exclusively to manufacturers and not to importers or sellers. Importers may act as the Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) of foreign manufacturers and can submit the application to BIS. However, the final license is only granted to the manufacturer.

Mandatory Registration: If you are a manufacturer of any product covered under the CRS Scheme, it is mandatory to register your product before introducing it to the market.

Compliance with Indian Standard Specifications: Manufacturers seeking BIS registration must ensure that their products conform to the requirements of the relevant Indian Standard Specifications.

Self-Declaration of Conformity: As part of the registration process, you need to provide a self-declaration of conformity, affirming that your product meets the necessary standards and requirements.

Manufacturing Infrastructure: The self-declaration also signifies that your manufacturing infrastructure is capable of producing quality products and includes the required testing facilities. You should be able to conduct the necessary product testing within the prescribed period at your premises.

By meeting these BIS registration requirements, you demonstrate your commitment to producing quality products that comply with the prescribed standards, ensuring consumer safety and satisfaction.
