 The Order envisages organizations/importers/sellers/distributors of the
notified goods, to conform to the specified standards and get
registration number from BIS after testing from BIS recognized labs.
Initially, the Order was to come into force from 03 April, 2013 but,
subsequently a notification for extension was issued on 20 March, 2013
wherein extension of 3 months was given with effect from 03 April,
2013. Hence, the date of coming into effect of the Order is 03 July, 2013
and an additional period of further 3 months i.e. up-to 03 October, 2013
would be available on payment of certain fee.

3. Main Features
 Applicable to both domestic organizations and importers uniformly.
 Each registration is valid for two years and gets renewed merely on request,
if no adverse issues come up during the period of registration.
 Since electronic products have large number of versions with minor changes
of configurations, series approval of products is provided. Different
configurations falling within same series can be approved based on testing of
representative sample from the series. Guidelines for series approval are
available on the website of Deity - Revised Guidelines for Series Approval
of Products for Implementation of CRO- phase II (403 KB)
 Testing to be carried out by BIS recognized labs. –
