Tests Performed

For CRS certification of Electronic Games (Video) the following tests are conducted
1.Electrical Safety Tests: Assessing the risk of electric shock and ensuring insulation resistance meets safety standards.

2. Performance Testing: Evaluating audio output quality, including frequency response, distortion levels, and power handling capabilities.

3. Thermal Tests: Measuring the amplifier’s ability to manage heat during prolonged use to prevent overheating and ensure reliable performance.

4. Load Testing: Determining the amplifier's performance under different load conditions to ensure stability and efficiency.

5. Environmental Testing: Assessing the amplifier’s durability under varying temperature and humidity conditions to ensure it operates effectively in diverse environments.

6. EMC Testing: Evaluating electromagnetic compatibility to ensure the amplifier does not interfere with other devices and operates safely within regulatory limits.

Prosess of CRS  Certification

Obtaining CRS  certification involves the following steps:

1. User ID

- Before applying for CRS certification, the manufacturer or applicant needs to register on the BIS portal to obtain a *User ID*. This ID is necessary for filing applications and managing the certification process. 

2. Testing the Product

- The product to be certified must be tested by a BIS-recognized lab. The testing is done according to the relevant Indian standards. A test report is issued, which is essential for further steps in the CRS process. 

3. File

- After the product is tested, the applicant prepares a file (documentation), which includes the test report, product specifications, and other necessary information. This file is submitted as part of the certification application. 

4. Manufacturer and Importers

- Once the file is ready, the manufacturer or applicant submits an application for a license to BIS, including all required documents and the product test report. The application fee is also paid at this stage. 

5. License Granted

- If BIS is satisfied with the test report and the application file, and all criteria are met, a license is granted. This license allows the manufacturer to affix the BIS CRS mark on the product, indicating compliance with the relevant Indian standards.

Documents Required for CRS Certification
Manufacturers must provide a set of documents supporting their BIS certification application, including:

●         Application Form

●         Company Registration Certificate

●         Product Specifications.
