As per the latest notification dated 9 January 2024, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has changed the concurrent testing from a pilot project of BIS-CRS to a permanent scheme based on consultation with stakeholders and the agreement of the Ministry of Electronics and Information of India (MEITY).

It's important to note that parallel testing is voluntary in nature, and manufacturers can apply for BIS certification through the existing process. If any application related to parallel testing is rejected/not processed at a subsequent stage, the manufacturer will bear the entire risk (including costs) in the process. Manufacturers should update the Critical Component List (CCL) as soon as the product is registered. In the case of CRS coverage, the manufacturer should subsequently use the component with the corresponding number (R-no.).
