How to use this BIS CRS application checklist

This checklist follows the official sequence on the CRS portal: log in, generate a test request, test at a BIS-recognised lab, verify the report, apply using the verified report within 90 days of its issue, and submit the documents^[2]. It is written for the person who actually prepares the file, whether that is the factory, its Indian representative or a consultant working for them.

Two things to settle before you start. First, the application belongs to the manufacturer: CRS licences are granted to the factory owner for each manufacturing unit, not to an importer or trader^[1]. An importer cannot hold the licence, but the importer is still bound by the ban on importing uncertified goods^[8]. Second, every item that states a rule is cited. Anything marked "reported" comes from a non-official source and should be confirmed before you rely on it.

For the full background, see the BIS CRS guide, the CRS documents list and the CRS portal walkthrough.

BIS CRS application checklist at a glance: what BIS checks and where files fail

BIS reviews a CRS file against its Grant of Licence guidelines, the forms and its own list of frequent deficiencies. The table maps each thing BIS checks to the rule or advisory behind it and the failure BIS itself reports most often.

What BIS checks in a CRS application, with the source and the usual failure
What BIS checks	Rule or advisory	Usual failure	Read more
Factory name and address match everywhere	January 2025 advisory^[9]	Address differs between application, report and licence^[10]	CRS documents
Business licence in English	Portal login rule^[2]	Missing or conflicting translation^[11]	CRS portal
Real signatures	Login and grant checks^[11]	Signature stamps used instead of signatures	CRS rejections
Model numbers match the test request	January 2025 advisory^[9]	Model added to the report after the request	Series guidelines
Marking labels of all models in the report	^[9]	Labels missing for series models	CRS labelling
Brand matches the trade mark document	^[9]	Brand on label differs from the certificate^[10]	Glossary: R-number
AIR route chosen correctly	Form I point 7(b) or 7(c)^[9]	No brand-owner declaration for an unrelated AIR	Authorised Indian Representative
One application per product and brand	^[12]	Two consultants file the same product	BIS CRS
Report unamended, complete and conforming	Form II undertaking^[13]	Amended report uploaded without justification	CRS test labs
Critical components conform	Component rules^[14]	Cell or adaptor without its own registration or report	IS 16046
Current-year MSME certificate if claiming a concession	^[9]	Last year's certificate uploaded	CRS fees
Affidavit on Rs 100 stamp paper, matching Form I	^[5]	Details differ from Form I	CRS documents

How long does each stage of a CRS application take?

Plan on a sequence of fixed clocks plus lab time. BIS targets 20 working days from a complete file^[3], but testing comes first and depends on the lab^[15]. These are the stages in the order they run.

1
Day 0: generate the test request
Product category, name, models and brands entered here cannot be changed later; cancel and regenerate before testing if there is an error^[16].
2
By day 60: sample at the lab
Ship the sample with the portal QR code^[2]. Labs accept CRS samples only with an online test request^[17].
3
Test, then report within 7 days
A recognised lab must issue the report within 7 days of finishing testing and may not withhold it^[18].
4
Verify the report and file Form I
The report must be under 90 days old when BIS receives the application^[3]. Pay fees, upload Form I, the AIR letter and the affidavit^[6].
5
Within 30 days: original affidavit at BIS
Courier the notarised original at once^[6].
6
Answer queries
Reply within the window in the rejection notice, at least 30 days^[3].
7
Grant and R-number
Expected about 20 working days after a complete, conforming file^[3]. See how long BIS registration takes.

Which BIS CRS deadlines can sink an application?

CRS has a chain of short clocks. Miss one and you usually start that stage again, often with a new test report. Put these dates in a shared calendar the day you generate the test request.

BIS CRS application deadlines
Stage	Deadline	What happens if you miss it	Source
Send sample and test request to the lab	Within 60 days of generating the test request	The test request has to be generated again	^[2]
File Form I with the test report	Report not over 90 days old when BIS receives the application	Report not accepted; retest needed	^[3]
Original notarised affidavit reaches BIS	Within 30 days of online submission	Application, or licence if granted, liable to be cancelled	^[6]
Reply to a BIS deficiency notice	Window of at least 30 days given in the notice	Application can be rejected	^[3]
BIS decision	Expected within 20 working days if documents and product conform first time	Target only; queries extend it	^[3]
Renewal	Apply before three months of validity remain	Late fee, then expiry 90 days after validity	^[19]

Before you start: is the product, brand and factory ready?

Confirm the product is on the CRS list. BIS's Scheme-II list shows 66 numbered categories^[20]
Note the Indian Standard. IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 and IS 616:2017 have been replaced by IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023, with the old standards allowed to run until 1 November 2028^[21]^[22]
Check whether your category has a future start date: TV sets (IS 18112), screen protectors and standalone hard disk drives are still pending^[23]
Decide which brand names go on the application. A separate application is needed for each brand unless the brand owner is the same^[3]
If several brands come from one factory, they can share a common test report, as long as all brands and model numbers are listed and each brand's label is in the report^[24]
Group your models by the MeitY series guidelines so one representative sample covers the series^[3]
Check whether the factory qualifies for an MSME fee concession. Under the 2024 rules the processing fee concession was 80% for micro enterprises and start-ups, 50% for small and 20% for medium^[25]
Foreign factory? Confirm who will be the Authorised Indian Representative before anything is filed^[3]

Step 1: Portal login and the Authorised Indian Representative

Login credentials are issued to the factory, not the brand. BIS checks that the business licence matches the factory you are registering.

Register on crsbis.in, the official CRS portal^[2]
Upload the factory's business licence in English, or a certified translation, showing the factory name and address and manufacturing in its scope^[2]
Foreign manufacturer: pick the AIR. It can be the factory's Indian liaison or branch office, the Indian brand owner or registered brand user, or another Indian entity if the brand owner declares it has no proprietor or registered user in India^[26]
Confirm the AIR is an Indian resident who accepts responsibility for compliance with the BIS Act, Rules, Regulations and licence terms^[27]
Check the AIR does not already represent another foreign manufacturer. An AIR may represent only one, except within a group of companies or a related importer^[27]
Prepare the AIR nomination letter on Form IV^[28]
Budget for changes later: switching AIR or contact person costs Rs 5,000 plus GST^[4]

Step 2: Test request, lab and sample

Testing is usually the longest stage. The CRS FAQ says testing time depends on the lab's workload and on how quickly the manufacturer supplies technical details^[15].

Generate the test request on the portal and choose the lab there^[2]
Use a lab that is established, maintained or recognised by BIS for your product, or a government lab empanelled by BIS^[3]
Paste the portal QR code on the sample or its packet^[2]
Send the sample and test request within 60 days of generating the request^[2]
Send the series' representative sample, not every model^[3]
Do not put the Standard Mark on the sample. Samples sent for an intended grant are outside the licence scope^[29]
If the sample is shipped from abroad, keep the paperwork showing it is for testing. MeitY's FAQ says the CRS Order does not apply to goods imported for testing in India^[30]. See importing samples for BIS testing
When the report is issued, verify it on the portal straight away; the 90-day clock runs from its issue date^[2]^[3]

How do you choose a BIS-recognised lab for CRS testing?

Pick a lab recognised for your exact Indian Standard, with the clauses you need in scope and a declared charge you can compare. BIS's July 2026 FAQ says recognised labs are listed on LIMS, searchable by IS number^[31]. LIMS shows each lab's clause-wise charges, any excluded tests and its recognition validity^[32].

Declared lab charges on BIS LIMS on 1 November 2026 (excluding taxes)
Standard	Labs listed	Range	Median	Used for
IS 13252 (Part 1)	68	Rs 25,000 to Rs 2,00,000	About Rs 63,750	IT equipment, adaptors, power banks^[32]; see IS 13252 Part 1
IS 16046	72 entries	Rs 37,500 to Rs 4,80,000	About Rs 80,000	Lithium and other secondary cells and batteries^[33]
IS 15885 (Part 2/Sec 13)	52	Rs 20,000 to Rs 1,85,000	About Rs 45,000	LED control gear^[34]; see IS 15885

Lab recognised for your IS number on LIMS, with recognition valid past your test date^[32]
No excluded clauses you need, or a plan for testing them elsewhere^[32]
Charges fixed for three years at the declared rate^[18]
Lab is not suspended. Reports issued during a suspension are not accepted^[35]
No agent or referral commission involved; recognised labs may not use them^[18]
Consider parallel testing of components and end product, at your own risk if a component fails^[36]

Step 3: Which documents does the CRS application need?

The forms are fixed by BIS. Make sure the names, addresses, brand and model numbers match across every form, the test report and the business licence. Mismatches are a common reason for queries.

CRS forms and when they are used
Form	What it is	When
Form I	Application for grant of licence	Uploaded sealed and signed after payment^[6]
Form II	Undertaking for test report	Accepted online before payment^[6]
Form III	Affidavit, on Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper, notarised	Uploaded, then the original posted^[5]
Form IV	Letter nominating the Authorised Indian Representative	Foreign factories only^[3]
Form VI	Renewal application	Before validity ends^[28]
Form VIII A	Inclusion of models or model withdrawal	After grant^[37]
Form VIII B	Change of other details in scope	After grant^[28]

Form I filled in with the verified test report reference, sealed and signed^[6]
Form II undertaking accepted online^[6]
Affidavit (Form III) on Rs 100 stamp paper, notarised, with details matching Form I^[5]
AIR nomination on Form IV, with the extra declarations in Forms IIIA/IIIB where they apply^[3]
For a third-party AIR, the brand owner's declaration that it has no proprietor or registered user of the brand in India^[26]
Label artwork showing the Standard Mark layout you intend to use (see Step 6)
A list of all brands and models, matching the test report^[24]

Step 4: How much will you pay BIS?

Fees are per application and exclude GST, which is charged on every payment^[4]. The 2026 amendment moved CRS licences to a five-year term with fees paid annually in advance^[7]; consultants report the processing fee under that amendment as Rs 25,000 a year^[38], which we have not confirmed from the gazette text. For the full picture, see BIS CRS fees and the CRS fee calculator.

BIS CRS fees per application (excluding GST)
Fee	Amount	Source
Application fee	Rs 1,000	^[4]
Annual licence fee	Rs 1,000	^[4]
Processing fee (includes one test report)	Rs 50,000	^[4]
Each additional test report	Rs 20,000	^[4]
Inclusion of models (includes one report)	Rs 30,000	^[4]
Change of name, address, AIR, contact details	Rs 5,000 each	^[4]
Late renewal	Rs 5,000	^[19]
Lab testing	Paid to the lab directly; not a BIS fee	^[3]

Pay the application, licence and processing fees on the portal before uploading Form I^[6]
Add Rs 20,000 for each additional test report in the same application^[4]
Claim the MSME concession only if the factory is an Indian MSME; foreign manufacturers generally cannot^[25]
Keep the payment receipts with the application file

Step 5: Submit, post the affidavit and answer queries

Submit the online application with the verified test report while it is under 90 days old^[3]
Post or courier the original notarised affidavit to BIS the same week. If it is not received within 30 days of online submission, the application or licence is liable to be cancelled^[6]
Keep the courier tracking record as proof of dispatch
Watch the portal and e-mail for a deficiency notice; BIS gives at least 30 days to resolve it^[3]
Answer each query point by point, uploading corrected documents rather than explanations alone
Expect a decision around 20 working days after a complete, conforming application^[3]. See how long BIS registration takes

Step 6: After grant, before the first shipment

The grant gives you the R-number. Nothing should be printed until you have it.

Print the Standard Mark with the R-number and the Indian Standard reference^[39]
Keep the text in the mark at Arial size 6 or larger^[39]
Mark the product, the package or both, legibly, indelibly and non-removably^[39]
Add www.bis.gov.in on the product or package^[40]
Register the R-number and model details on MeitY's surveillance portal run by STPI, as manufacturers, AIRs and brands are asked to do^[41]
Send the importer a copy of the licence and model list; Customs checks BIS registration on every consignment of CRS goods, according to a CBIC instruction^[42]
Under the 2026 rules, diarise the annual fee and production details; missing them triggers suspension and cancellation provisions^[43]
Add new models by inclusion, not by a new application^[37]

Do CRS applications now need IS/IEC 62368-1 test reports?

New applications in the affected categories should be tested to IS/IEC 62368 (Part 1):2023, because IS 13252 (Part 1) and IS 616 stand withdrawn after 1 November 2028^[22]. MeitY's S.O. 4997(E) replaced the two older standards in the CRO schedule^[21].

Existing licensees in 38 categories must submit full 62368-1 reports for all lead models by 1 November 2028^[44]. BIS's July 2026 FAQ adds that one sample per licence is not enough, that an end-of-life lead model can be withdrawn and the next lead model tested, that migrating registered models through the Standard Revision module is free, and that each manufacturing location needs its own reports^[31]. MeitY is reported to allow up to ten models per series under 62368^[45].

For an application filed today, testing to the new standard avoids a second round of testing within two years. Details are on IS/IEC 62368-1 and IS 616.

Worked example: fees for a power bank and battery application

A Shenzhen factory applies for one brand of power banks with two test reports (two series) and, separately, for the lithium-ion cells inside them under IS 16046. Base BIS fees before GST^[4]:

Item	Power banks	Cells
Application fee	Rs 1,000	Rs 1,000
Annual licence fee	Rs 1,000	Rs 1,000
Processing fee incl. one report	Rs 50,000	Rs 50,000
Additional test report	Rs 20,000	none
Total	Rs 72,000	Rs 52,000

Sources:^[4]. The two applications total Rs 1,24,000 before GST and lab charges. At the LIMS medians, two power bank reports under IS 13252 (Part 1) at about Rs 63,750 each^[32] and one cell report under IS 16046 at about Rs 80,000^[33] add about Rs 2,07,500.

Two cautions. Each cell application or inclusion may carry reports for only one chemistry^[46]. And lithium cells must now also have rated capacity verified under IS 16047 (Part 3)^[47]. Run your own numbers in the CRS fee calculator or the compliance cost estimator; see also what BIS CRS registration costs and power banks.

What happens if a CRS application is rejected?

BIS must give a chance to be heard and a speaking order before rejecting^[14], so most problems surface first as a deficiency notice you can answer. If the file does fail, these are the routes.

CRS application failures and what to do
Failure	Consequence	What to do
Rejected after processing for unsatisfactory replies	Fees are not refunded^[48]	Fix the cause and file a fresh application with a valid report
Filed by mistake, or as grant instead of inclusion	Withdrawal within 24 hours or before processing is refunded minus the application fee^[48]	Withdraw at once and re-apply correctly
Report expired during a dispute	Report outside time norms	Ask a DDG of BIS to accept it on justification^[14]
Lab suspended mid-application	Its reports are not accepted	Test fresh samples at another recognised lab and continue in the same file, with a Rs 10,000 scrutiny fee per report^[35]
Duplicate application detected	All pending ones rejected and granted R-numbers for that product and brand cancelled^[12]	Keep one consultant and one file per product and brand
Order you disagree with	Licence refused or expired	Appeal to the BIS Director General within 90 days with a Rs 2,000 fee^[19]
Unsure if the product is covered at all	BIS will not decide coverage	Ask the regulator, such as MeitY^[9]

What gets CRS applications delayed or rejected?

Most delays come from the file, not the product:

Expired test reports. A report more than 90 days old when BIS receives the application is not accepted^[3]. Do not generate a test request until the factory documents and AIR are ready.
A late affidavit. The original must reach BIS within 30 days of online submission^[6].
Brand mismatches. Each brand needs its own application unless the brand owner is the same^[3], so a reseller's brand added at the last minute does not ride on the factory's own licence.
The wrong AIR. An AIR already representing another foreign manufacturer cannot take you on^[27].
Marked samples. The Standard Mark must not appear on lab samples^[29].
Ignoring the query window. You have at least 30 days, not unlimited time^[3].

For detail on rejections, see CRS rejections and fixes.

Which tools and help are available for a CRS application?

Before filing, confirm the category with the approval checker or the HS code approval finder, and price the file with the CRS fee calculator. After grant, check the label artwork with the label checker and diarise renewal with the licence renewal date tool.

Foreign factories can read compliance for foreign manufacturers. If you plan to use a consultant, see BIS consultants and how to choose a BIS consultant. For a second opinion on a file before you submit it, ask for a free compliance check.

Frequently asked questions

Can an importer apply for BIS CRS registration?

No. The licence is granted to the manufacturer for each manufacturing unit, not to an importer or trader^[1]. An Indian importer can act as the foreign factory's Authorised Indian Representative if it is the brand owner or meets the other AIR conditions^[26].

How old can the test report be?

Not more than 90 days, counted from the report's issue date to the date BIS receives the online application^[3]. Plan the submission before the lab issues the report.

What happens if the original affidavit is late?

If BIS does not receive the original notarised affidavit within 30 days of online submission, the application, or the licence if already granted, is liable to be cancelled^[6]. Courier it as soon as you file.

How much does a CRS application cost in government fees?

The application fee is Rs 1,000^[4], the annual licence fee Rs 1,000^[4] and the processing fee Rs 50,000 including one test report^[4], plus GST^[4]. Lab testing is paid separately.

Do I need a separate application for each brand?

Yes, unless the brand owner is the same^[3]. Several brands from one factory can use a common test report if all brands and models are listed in it^[24].

How long does BIS take to decide?

BIS says the grant process is expected to finish within 20 working days if documents and product conformity are satisfactory first time^[3]. Testing comes before that and depends on the lab's workload^[15].

Can I put the Standard Mark on samples sent for testing?

No. The mark must not be applied to products outside the licence scope, which includes samples sent to labs for an intended grant^[29].

How long is a CRS licence valid now?

After the 25 February 2026 amendment, a CRS licence is granted for five years and renewed for five more, with fees paid annually in advance^[7]. Renewal should be applied for before three months of validity remain^[19].

Can I change the models on a test request after testing starts?

No. Product category, name, models and brands entered in the test request cannot be changed at application stage; if there is an error, cancel the test request before testing starts and generate a new one^[16].

Does BIS refund fees if my CRS application is rejected?

Not if it is rejected after processing because of unsatisfactory replies^[48]. An application withdrawn within 24 hours of submission, or before processing, is refunded minus the application fee and taxes^[48].

Should a new CRS application be tested to IS/IEC 62368-1?

For the affected categories, yes in practice: IS 13252 (Part 1) and IS 616 can run concurrently only until 1 November 2028^[22], and existing licensees must submit 62368-1 reports for all lead models by then^[44].
