Television sets in India are now subject to stricter quality and functionality norms. The updated standard IS 18112:2025 governs digital-television receivers inside TVs — especially for satellite / Free-to-Air (FTA) broadcast reception. Under the government’s electronics regulation scheme, compliance with this standard (plus safety standard IS 616/IEC 60065) under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is now mandatory.
If you manufacture, import or sell TVs in India — you need to know what IS 18112 means, who must comply, and how to get CRS registration. Let’s break it down.
In short: post-2025 TVs must be capable of decoding digital satellite broadcasts and also remain electrically and mechanically safe.
Any manufacturer (domestic or overseas) exporting TVs to Indian market.
Importers / brands bringing in finished TVs or TVs with satellite receivers.
Sellers / distributors — only certified models can be sold post-deadline.
If a TV lacks compliance with IS 18112 (or runs only older safety-only licence under IS 616), it cannot legally be sold once the deadline passes.
So — no grace period left beyond 26 January 2026.
For a TV to meet IS 18112 + safety requirements, it must have:
Failure on any of these (receiver module or safety) means non-compliance.
If you already have a BIS licence under IS 616 for TVs:
This isn’t just paperwork; it has real implications:
Manufacturers should start early and plan properly.
BIS CRS Mark Registration for Lead Acid Battery IS-16270:2014
For anyone involved with TV manufacturing, importing or retail in India IS 18112:2025 + IS 616 compliance via BIS CRS registration is now non-negotiable. The deadlines are firm, and once 26 January 2026 passes, only certified TVs can legally be sold.
If you’re building a new TV model — design with satellite-receiver integration in mind, ensure tested hardware and software, and prepare documentation now.
If you have existing models under older licence — apply for “Change in Scope” immediately. Get test reports, update labels — don’t wait for the last minute. Get in touch with Agile Regulatory for expert help today!
This standard helps raise quality, ensures consumer safety, and gives everyone a clear baseline. For a country with millions of TV users, it’s a step toward better regulation and reliable viewing experience.
