Electronic products in India have to adhere to mandatory protection standards to be offered within the market. The most important standard is IS 13252 certification, issued under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) using the Bureau of Indian Standards
If you are a producer, importer, or logo owner, IS 13252 certification is not available as an option — it is miles a legal requirement.
At ELT Corporate, we offer end-to-end consulting services that will help you achieve IS 13252 certification quickly, successfully and without the dangers of compliance.
What is IS 13252 Certification?
IS 13252 is an Indian standard that guarantees the protection of information technology equipment (ITE).
This aligns with IEC 60950 and global protection requirements and applies to a large variety of digital products including:
- laptops and computers
- printers and scanners
- power adapter and charger
- The set-top vessel
- audio-visual equipment
- data processing tools
Any product blanketed under this preference must be registered under the BIS CRS scheme before being sold in India.

Without IS 13252 certification:
