What approvals does a television (smart) need in India?

A television (smart) sold in India typically needs 4 approvals: BIS CRS, WPC ETA, BEE, EPR. Here’s what each one is - and why it applies.

01 · BIS · CRS

BIS CRS Registration

TVs are CRS-scheduled products. Mandatory registration for electronics, IT hardware and batteries under the Compulsory Registration Scheme - scoping to granted R-number.

How we handle BIS · CRS

02 · WPC · ETA

WPC Wireless Approvals

Smart TVs carry Wi-Fi/Bluetooth radios. Equipment Type Approval for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other wireless devices - usually the fastest approval.

03 · BEE · S&L

BEE Star Labelling

TVs fall under the star labelling programme. Energy-efficiency star labelling for appliances - from registration to approved label artwork.

04 · CPCB · EPR

EPR Registration

E-waste producer obligations apply. Producer-responsibility registration with CPCB so your electronics clear e-waste rules at import.

Alongside the approvals, this category typically involves Safety and EMC/EMI testing at accredited labs - we coordinate that too.

This guide is indicative - the exact scope depends on your specific product (its radios, batteries, ratings and category). A consultant confirms it free, within one business day.
