BIS has recently issued guidance for products covered under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirement of Compulsory Registration) Order, 2021, providing clarification on the classification of emerging wearable devices such as Audio Glasses, Smart Glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) Glasses, and Mixed Reality (MR) Glasses. The guidance aims to address ambiguity in the categorization of these products by clearly defining the applicable product names and categories for compliance purposes.
Based on the classification prescribed by BIS, manufacturers and importers may be required to obtain separate BIS registrations under the relevant product category. Businesses dealing with such wearable devices should review the guidance carefully and assess their product classifications to ensure compliance with the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) requirements and avoid potential regulatory issues arising from incorrect registration.
