Getting a product like a webcam registered in India under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) is not just another compliance task to check off. For many manufacturers and importers, it represents the first real barrier to legally placing their product in the Indian market. Webcams — small cameras that stream video to computers and networks — are now on the list of products that cannot be sold in India without a valid BIS CRS registration.
Webcams became very common during the recent rise in video conferencing and remote work. They serve everyday users as well as enterprise customers. But regulators became concerned about low-quality or unsafe imports. To protect consumers and ensure quality, BIS made it mandatory to register webcams under IS 616:2017 before you can sell or distribute them here.
A webcam is a finished product — a video camera designed to transmit or stream video and audio in real time to a computer or network. It can be external (attached to a monitor) or built into a device like a laptop. These cameras are widely used for video chatting, conferencing, online classes, remote support and everyday communication
Unlike many other electronic products webcams are simple in design but crucial in function. They affect user experience directly and can interact with networks which is part of why they are regulated under the Compulsory Registration Scheme rather than left as voluntary items
IS 616:2017 is the Indian standard for video and similar electronic apparatus. A webcam falls within this category, and compliance means the product must meet technical safety and performance requirements defined in the standard
This includes things such as:
The goal is not to create a barrier, but to filter out products that could cause risk to users or network systems.
BIS CRS Registration of Video Camera (With or Without Display) IS 616 : 2017
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) enforces the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) for electronic and IT products like webcams.
Under CRS:
It may seem obvious that manufacturers need to register but the details matter:
If you manufacture webcams in India, you must apply directly to BIS for CRS registration. The licence will be linked to your specific manufacturing address.
If you produce outside India, you must nominate an Authorised Indian Representative (AIR). This person or local company is legally responsible for submitting the BIS application and handling compliance matters with BIS in India.
An importer cannot get the licence in their own name unless they are also the AIR and manufacturer’s agent. The licence always ultimately belongs to the manufacturer — real or foreign.
So, if you are importing webcams, make sure you coordinate with the manufacturer and your AIR properly to meet all requirements.
BIS CRS Registration of Smart Speakers (With or Without Display) IS 616 : 2017
Before you start, you need to prepare the right documentation. In general these include:
A couple of practical points worth noting:
The basic flow for registration is usually:
There are a few things firms commonly overlook:
Planners sometimes underestimate how long logistics, testing, and paperwork take in total. So start early.
BIS CRS registration for webcams under IS 616:2017 is mandatory and non-negotiable if you want legal market access. It involves real technical and paperwork work, but it also protects your brand and customers by ensuring products meet minimum safety and performance standards.
Skipping it might seem tempting, but it often backfires when customs hold shipments or buyers reject non-certified products. Get in touch with Agile Regulatory today for expert help.
