2. Performance Testing: Evaluating battery performance, charging efficiency, and overall device functionality.
3. Thermal Tests: Measuring the device's ability to manage heat during prolonged use to prevent overheating.
4. Load Testing: Determining performance under varying load conditions to ensure stability and efficiency.
5. Environmental Testing: Assessing device durability under various temperature and humidity conditions for effective operation.
6. EMC Testing: Evaluating electromagnetic compatibility to ensure devices do not interfere with other electronic devices.

Process of CRS Certification

Obtaining CRS certification involves the following steps:

1. User ID: Register on the BIS portal to obtain a User ID, necessary for managing the certification process.
2. Testing the Product: The product must be tested by a BIS-recognized lab, and a test report is issued.
3. File Preparation: Prepare a documentation file that includes the test report, product specifications, and other required information.
4. Application Submission: Submit the application to BIS with all required documents and the product test report, along with the application fee.
5. License Granted: If BIS is satisfied with the test report and documentation, a license is granted, allowing the manufacturer to affix the BIS CRS mark on the product.
