BIS Registration For Standalone Led Modules For General Lighting IS 16103 (Part 1) : 2012

Introduction: 

An Led Light Module, Also Known As A Light-emitting Diode Module, Is A Type Of Led Device That Can Either Function Independently Or Be Powered By Plugging It Into A Suitable Unit. One Or More Led Emitters Are Frequently Contained In A Board Fixture That Powers The Led Lights Or Plugs Into A Unit That Powers The Led Module. Led Modules, Also Known As Led Arrays, Are Basic Led Assemblies. They Make Use Of One Or More Diodes That Are Organized On A Circuit Board. The Led Circuit Board Is Made Up Of Pcb And Pcb (Printed Circuit Boards Are Made Up Of Material Designed To Improve Heat Dissipation.

In Short, One Or More Leds May Have Additional Components, For Example, Optical, Mechanical, Electrical, And Electronic, But Excluding The Control Gear. The Government Of Indian And The Bis Bureau Of Indian Standards Have Made It Compulsory To Register Under Bis Registration Under A Compulsory Registration Scheme. It Is Compulsory For Both Domestic As Well As Foreign Manufacturers To Register Their Standalone Led Modules For General Lighting As Per Is 16103.

IS Standard : Standalone Led Modules For General Lighting IS 16103 (Part 1) : 2012

Standalone Led Modules For General Lighting Have Revolutionized The Way We Illuminate Spaces, Offering Highly Efficient And Versatile Lighting Solutions. These Modules Consist Of Multiple Light Emitting Diodes (Leds) Arranged On A Single Board, Designed For Various Lighting Applications. One Of Their Primary Advantages Is Energy Efficiency, As They Consume Significantly Less Power Compared To Traditional Lighting Technologies Like Incandescent Or Fluorescent Bulbs, Leading To Reduced Electricity Costs And Environmental Benefits. Standalone Led Modules Provide Exceptional Durability And Longevity, Ensuring Long-term Cost Savings And Reduced Maintenance Efforts.

Their Compact And Versatile Design Allows For Easy Integration Into A Wide Range Of Fixtures And Settings, Making Them Suitable For Residential, Commercial, And Industrial Spaces. With The Ability To Customize Color Temperatures And Dimming Options, These Led Modules Offer Not Only Enhanced Efficiency But Also Improved Control Over The Quality And Ambiance Of Lighting, Contributing To A More Sustainable And Adaptable Approach To General Lighting.

Is 16103 (Part 1): 2012 Is An Indian Standard That Specifies The Requirements For Standalone Led Modules Used In General Lighting Applications.is 16103 (Part 1): 2012 Ensures That Led Modules Meet Specified Quality And Performance Standards. Meeting These Standards Helps Manufacturers Produce High-quality And Reliable Led Lighting Products. Adherence To These Standards Reduces The Risk Of Electrical Accidents And Ensures The Safety Of Consumers. Compliance With Is 16103 (Part 1) : 2012 Helps Manufacturers Meet These Regulatory Requirements, Making Their Products Legally Compliant And Safe For Consumers.

Note: Manufacturers Of Standalone Led Modules For General Lighting Are Required To Obtain The Mandatory Bis/crs Registration To Launch Their Products In The Indian Market.

Bis/crs Registration Guarantees That Standalone Led Modules Entering The Indian Market Are Subject To Comprehensive Evaluation, Verifying Their Compliance With Stringent Quality And Safety Standards Set By The Bureau Of Indian Standards.

About The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)

The erstwhile Indian Standards Institution (now Bureau of Indian Standards) was established in the year 1947 with the objective of harmonious development of standardization activity in India. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) was established under the BIS Act, 1986 for the harmonious development of the activities of standardization, marking and quality certification of goods and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. A new Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016 which was notified on 22nd March 2016, has been brought into force with effect from 12 October 2017 that reinforces the activities of BIS in respect to standardization and certification of goods, articles, processes, systems and services.

Basic Requisites for BIS Licence

Obtaining a BIS Licence hinges on four key pillars:

1. Manufacturer: The BIS Licence is exclusively granted to manufacturers, not importers or sellers. Importers can act as the Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) of a foreign manufacturer to submit the application, but the licence is issued to the manufacturer.

2. Manufacturing Address: A valid manufacturing address must be provided. If a manufacturer operates multiple factory locations for the same product, each location requires a separate BIS Licence.

3. Product: Each product needs its own licence. However, multiple models within the same product category can be covered by a single licence.

4. Brand/Trademark: Each brand or trademark must have its own BIS licence.

BIS Registration Procedure

The BIS registration process for amplifiers under IS 616:2017 varies based on the geographic location of the manufacturing unit. The processes differ for domestic (Indian) and foreign manufacturers.

Process for Foreign Manufacturers

1. Nominate Indian Representative: The foreign manufacturer must nominate an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR) {What is AIR}.
2. Submit Online Application: An online submission must be made.
3. Sample Testing: Samples must be tested by a BIS-approved laboratory.
4. Submit Application and Test Report: The application, including the test report, is submitted online or offline.
