LED lighting is now used almost everywhere in India. Homes, offices, shops, hotels, and factories rely on LED systems. With this growth, dimmers have also become common. A dimmer allows the user to control how bright the light should be
Because dimmers are connected directly to electrical wiring, they fall under safety control. Poor-quality dimmers can overheat. They can fail early. In some cases they can even cause electrical damage
For this reason the Government of India has made BIS CRS registration mandatory for LED dimmers. The applicable standard is IS 60669-2-1:2008
If a dimmer does not have BIS registration it cannot be legally sold or imported in India
A dimmer is a control device. It adjusts the electrical power supplied to a light. When the power changes the brightness also changes
LED dimmers are different from old-style dimmers used for filament bulbs. LEDs need controlled current. Most LED dimmers use a method called pulse-width modulation. Power is switched on and off very fast. The eye sees steady dimming not flickering
LED dimmers are used in many places such as:
Since these products handle live electricity safety standards apply
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulates many electronic products in India. Some products are allowed to sell only after registration. This is done under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS).
LED dimmers are included under this scheme
The main reasons are simple:
BIS CRS registration ensures that the product meets minimum safety requirements before reaching users
BIS CRS Certificate Registration for CCTV Cameras
The standard that applies to LED dimmers is IS 60669-2-1:2008. This standard covers electronic switches and dimming devices used in fixed electrical installations
It applies mainly to household and similar use
The standard checks areas such as:
The goal is not design improvement. The goal is basic safety and reliability.
Even though newer versions exist, IS 60669-2-1:2008 is still enforced under the BIS CRS framework.
Any manufacturer whose LED dimmers are sold in India must apply.
This applies to both Indian and foreign companies.
Indian manufacturers apply directly to BIS. Registration is granted for a specific factory. If the factory changes, a new registration is required.
Foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR). The AIR is legally responsible for the product in India.
Important points to remember:
The process is structured and document-based. There is no shortcut.
Product samples are sent to a BIS-recognized laboratory. The lab tests the dimmer as per IS 60669-2-1:2008.
Only BIS-approved labs are accepted.
After testing, documents are prepared. These usually include:
Details must match exactly across all documents.
The application is filed on the BIS CRS portal. Documents and reports are uploaded online.
BIS checks the application. If everything is correct, registration is granted. If not, queries are raised.

There is no fixed timeline. In most cases, approval takes a few weeks.
Common reasons for delay include:
Test reports are valid only for a limited period. Late filing can cause re-testing.
Once registration is granted, proper labelling is mandatory.
The product or packaging must show:
Incorrect labelling can cause issues at customs or during market inspection.
BIS CRS registration is generally valid for two years
Before expiry, renewal must be filed. Renewal confirms that:
Late renewal can stop imports and sales.
BIS CRS registration for LED dimmers under IS 60669-2-1:2008 is not optional. It is a legal requirement
Manufacturers should plan testing and documentation carefully. Small mistakes can cause long delays. Proper compliance avoids penalties and protects the business in the long term
