How to Do a Standard Revision for IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 on BIS Portal — Step by Step

Migrating an existing BIS CRS registration from IS 13252 or IS 616 to IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 does not require starting over. BIS has a specific process called Standard Revision that allows existing R-number holders to update their certification to the new standard without a full re-application.

Here is the complete step-by-step process:

Step 1: Prepare Your Test Reports

The foundation of the Standard Revision is fresh test reports under IS/IEC 62368-1:2023. You need:

  • Complete test reports from a BIS-recognized laboratory for each lead model under your licence
  • Test reports must explicitly reference IS/IEC 62368-1:2023 (Edition 4)
  • If your product requires additional standards compliance (e.g., IS 18112:2025 for TVs, IS 16333 Part 3 for mobile phones), include those test reports too
  • Ensure test reports are within their validity period (typically 2 years from date of issue)

Step 2: Prepare Series Model Documentation

For series models covered under your lead model:

  • Prepare an undertaking (declaration) confirming all series models comply with IS/IEC 62368-1:2023
  • The declaration must be signed by an authorised signatory
  • Series model coverage depends on the series guidelines — confirm scope with your BIS-recognized lab

Step 3: Log in to BIS Portal (Manakonline/CRS)

  1. Go to the BIS CRS portal: www.crsbis.in or www.manakonline.in
  2. Log in with your existing licensee credentials
  3. Navigate to your existing registration
  4. Select "Standard Revision/Amendment" from the options menu

Step 4: Select the New Standard

  • In the standard selection field, choose IS/IEC 62368-1:2023
  • The portal will map your existing product categories to the new standard
  • Confirm the product category mapping is correct

Step 5: Upload Documents

Documents required for upload:

  • Test report(s) from BIS-recognized lab against IS/IEC 62368-1:2023
  • Declaration/undertaking for series models
  • Any additional standard test reports (if applicable for your product)
  • Authorised signatory's digital signature or wet signature as required

Step 6: Pay the Amendment Fee

A fee is applicable for Standard Revision amendments. Check the current fee schedule on the BIS portal — fees are periodically revised. Payment is made online through the portal.

Step 7: BIS Scrutiny

After submission, BIS will:

  • Review your test reports and documentation
  • May raise deficiency queries if anything is missing or unclear
  • Issue a Standard Revision Confirmation Letter once approved, listing all models now registered under IS/IEC 62368-1:2023

BIS scrutiny typically takes 2-4 weeks for straightforward applications.

Step 8: Update Product Markings

Once BIS issues the confirmation letter, update your product markings if required. The R-number remains the same — only the standard reference changes on any documentation where it appears.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting incomplete test reports: Ensure the test report covers all relevant clauses of IS/IEC 62368-1:2023, not just selected sections
  • Using reports from non-BIS-recognized labs: Only test reports from BIS-recognized laboratories are accepted
  • Not checking for additional standard requirements: Some products (TVs, mobile phones, CCTV) need additional standards alongside IS/IEC 62368-1:2023
  • Missing the series model declaration: The undertaking for series models is mandatory — don't forget it
  • Waiting too long: Labs will be backlogged by 2027. Start now.
