BIS Notifies AR, VR & MR Devices Under Compulsory Registration Scheme
Summary: The Bureau of Indian Standards has extended the Compulsory Registration Scheme to cover Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Mixed Reality devices, requiring all manufacturers to obtain BIS registration before selling these products in India.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has officially notified Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) devices under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS). This landmark notification means all manufacturers and importers of such devices must now obtain CRS registration under the relevant Indian Standard before their products can be sold or distributed in India.
The move underscores the Indian government's commitment to ensuring safety and quality of next-generation consumer electronics entering the rapidly growing Indian market.
What This Means for Manufacturers:
• All AR, VR, and MR headsets, glasses and related devices require CRS registration
• Products must be tested at a BIS-recognised laboratory
• Compliance deadline will be notified by BIS separately
• Products already in the market may need to obtain registration within the specified compliance timeline
