BIS CRS Registration is mandatory for all LED lamps and luminaires notified under the IS 10322 (Part 5) series in India. On 20 March 2026, BIS issued Guidelines (Ref: Reg./IS 10322 Series/Guidelines/01) revising all 7 LED luminaire standards under IS 10322 with a concurrent running deadline of 02 August 2026. After this date, no BIS licence will remain operative unless the licensee has implemented the revised 2026 standard and submitted fresh test reports for all lead models. The 7 revised product categories are: Fixed General Purpose LED Luminaires, Recessed LED Luminaires, LED Luminaires for Road and Street Lighting, LED Flood Lights, LED Hand Lamps, LED Lighting Chains, and LED Luminaires for Emergency Lighting. Key new technical requirements in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 include IPX9, EMF safety, PELV system, updated electric shock tests, and normative requirements for battery/EDLC-operated luminaires. The parent standard IS 10322 (Part 1):2014 has also been revised and published as IS 10322 (Part 1):2026.
LED luminaires sit at the intersection of energy efficiency and electrical safety — products that must perform reliably in demanding environments while protecting users from electrical, thermal, and photobiological hazards. India's BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme has long mandated certification of LED lamps and luminaires under the IS 10322 (Part 5) series, and in March 2026, BIS took a significant step: revising all seven IS 10322 LED luminaire standards and setting a hard concurrent running deadline of 02 August 2026.
This is not a routine update. The 2026 revisions introduce substantive new technical requirements — from EMF safety and IPX9 protection to new battery/EDLC normative requirements and updated electric shock test methods — that require existing licensees to retest lead models and file undertakings, and require all new applicants to register under the revised standards after the deadline. This guide covers everything manufacturers and importers need to know about the transition and the BIS CRS registration process for LED luminaires.
02 August 2026 is the last date of concurrent running for all IS 10322 (Part 5) series LED luminaire standards. Beyond this date: (1) no existing BIS licence shall remain operative where the revised standard has not been implemented; (2) no new BIS licence shall be granted under the old standard version. Existing licensees must submit fresh test reports for all lead models and a signed undertaking for series models — all before 02 August 2026. Failure to act results in licence cancellation or model deletion. Source: BIS Guidelines Ref. Reg./IS 10322 Series/Guidelines/01 dated 20 March 2026.

Why BIS CRS Registration Is Mandatory for LED Luminaires
LED luminaires are notified under the BIS Compulsory Registration Scheme as products that present real safety risks to consumers if designed or manufactured without conforming to established standards. These risks span electrical hazards (shock risk, insulation failure), thermal hazards (overheating, fire risk), photobiological hazards (blue light emission, UV radiation), and mechanical hazards (structural failure under vibration or impact). The IS 10322 series of standards exists specifically to define and verify compliance with minimum safety requirements across all these risk categories.
LED luminaires connected to mains power sources must be tested for insulation resistance, dielectric strength, leakage current, and protective earth continuity to protect users from electric shock hazards during normal installation and use.
High-power LED luminaires generate significant heat at the LED junction and driver circuitry. Compliance with IS 10322 ensures temperature rise at surfaces and critical components remains within safe limits, preventing fire and burn hazards during operation.
LED luminaires used in outdoor, industrial, or wet environments must carry appropriate IP ratings verified under IS 10322. The 2026 revision now introduces IPX9 — the highest-level water jet protection — as a testable parameter for applicable product categories.
The revised IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 extends photobiological requirements (blue light hazard, UV emission limits) and introduces new EMF safety requirements — ensuring LED luminaires do not expose users to harmful electromagnetic fields during normal operation.
The IS 10322 Standard Revision — BIS Guidelines 20 March 2026
The Bureau of Indian Standards issued formal Guidelines on 20 March 2026 — Reference: Reg./IS 10322 Series/Guidelines/01, issued by the Registration Department, signed by Sonali Gupta, Sc C / Deputy Director, Head (Registration), DDG (Certification) — announcing the revision of the IS 10322 series for LED luminaires under the Compulsory Registration Order (CRO).
The guidelines note that the Indian Standards listed in the revision table reference IS 10322 (Part 1) — and that IS 10322 (Part 1):2014 has been revised and published as IS 10322 (Part 1):2026. This parent standard revision underpins the revisions to all seven Part 5 sections, as each Part 5 section incorporates updated references to IS 10322 (Part 1).

Significant Technical Changes in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026
IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 — the parent standard that all seven Part 5 section standards reference — introduces the following significant technical changes over the previous 2014 version. These changes define the additional testing scope that existing licensees must cover in their fresh test reports and that new applicants must demonstrate compliance with.
IPX9 — protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets — has been introduced as a testable IP protection level for applicable LED luminaires. Products claiming IPX9 must now be tested under the revised standard's prescribed test conditions to verify this protection level.
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) safety requirements have been included for the first time in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026, ensuring that LED luminaires do not expose users or bystanders to EMF levels exceeding the defined safety limits during normal operation — a requirement absent from the 2014 version.
Marking requirements have been modified, including the addition of a new sub-clause specifically for marking of mains socket outlets moved from the information requirements section — affecting how and where socket outlet markings must appear on applicable luminaire products.
A new clause has been added on protection against fast rotating parts — specifically moving fan blades used in forced-air-cooled LED luminaires. This directly impacts LED luminaires incorporating cooling fans, requiring specific guard and protection design measures.
Protective Extra-Low-Voltage (PELV) system requirements have been introduced, with additional requirements for luminaires using controllable control gear providing SELV (Safety Extra-Low-Voltage) outputs — affecting LED luminaires with dimmable or smart-control drivers.
The test to establish whether a conductive part can cause electric shock has been modified — with the addition of specific touch voltage limits and touch current limits that replace or supplement the prior test methodology. Existing test reports under IS 10322:2014 will not cover these new parameters.
A new informative annexure on Power over Ethernet (PoE) powering for Class III luminaires via information technology communication cabling has been added — addressing the growing use of PoE-powered LED luminaires in building management and smart lighting systems.
A normative annexure on battery and Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) operated luminaires has been added — making requirements for these energy storage technologies mandatory rather than informative and directly affecting emergency lighting and self-contained LED luminaire products.
Photobiological safety requirements — covering blue light hazard and UV radiation exposure from LED sources — have been extended in scope in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026, requiring broader evaluation of the optical radiation emitted by LED luminaires during photobiological compliance testing.
A new informative annexure has been added on additional requirements for luminaires where a higher degree of availability (impulse withstand overvoltage category III) may be requested — relevant for luminaires installed in industrial or critical-infrastructure environments.
Technical Changes in Each IS 10322 (Part 5) Section :2026
In addition to the parent standard changes in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026, each of the seven Part 5 sections carries product-category-specific technical changes in the 2026 revision.
References to IS 10322 (Part 1) have been updated throughout. The scope has been modified to align with IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 — now explicitly including all electric light sources, not just LED sources as previously specified.
Requirements specific to recessed luminaires previously in IS 10322 (Part 1) are now incorporated directly in this section. New requirements for air-handling luminaires (luminaires integrated with HVAC airflow systems) have been introduced. Additional marking requirements added.
References to IS 10322 (Part 1) have been updated. Additional marking requirements have been introduced for road and street lighting luminaires — critical products from a public safety and infrastructure perspective.
References to IS 10322 (Part 1) updated. A new glass breaking test has been introduced — requiring flood lights with glass outer covers or lenses to be tested for resistance to mechanical impact and breakage, with defined containment requirements for glass fragment dispersion.
References to IS 10322 (Part 1) have been updated. No additional product-category-specific technical changes beyond the parent standard IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 updates — but the updated parent standard requirements (EMF, IPX9, PELV, updated shock test) fully apply.
References to IS 10322 (Part 1) updated. Specific provisions for Temporarily Installed Protected (TPL) lighting chains have been added — addressing the installation and safety requirements for temporary decorative lighting chains used at events and in seasonal applications. New terms and definitions added.
Updated requirements for rest mode and inhibiting mode operation. Clarified high-temperature operation tests. New requirements for lithium batteries and EDLCs used in self-contained emergency luminaires. Clarified resistance to heat, fire, and tracking tests. New requirements for contrast measurement of exit signs. Updated self-contained luminaire test facilities guidance. References to IS 10322 (Part 1) updated.
What Existing Licensees Must Do Before 02 August 2026
If you currently hold a BIS CRS licence for any of the seven LED luminaire categories under the old IS 10322 (Part 5) standards, you have specific mandatory obligations under the BIS Guidelines of 20 March 2026 that must be completed before the concurrent running deadline of 02 August 2026.
- Implement the applicable revised IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026 standard in your manufacturing process before the deadline
- Submit complete test report(s) from a BIS-recognised laboratory for all lead model(s) in your licence scope that were previously tested under the old standard version
- Provide a signed undertaking to BIS confirming that revised standard requirements have been implemented across all existing series model(s) covered in the licence scope
- Your BIS CRS licence will no longer remain operative beyond 02 August 2026
- BIS may initiate cancellation of the licence or deletion of affected models from the licence scope
- Products bearing the BIS mark under a lapsed or cancelled licence become non-compliant — liable to enforcement, seizure, and customs action
- A fresh BIS CRS application will be required to reinstate registration — adding significant time and cost
Rules for New Applicants — Before and After 02 August 2026
The BIS Guidelines of 20 March 2026 set specific rules for new CRS applications for LED luminaires — with different provisions depending on the stage of the application at the time the deadline passes.
Existing applications where the sample has already been submitted to the laboratory, or where the test report has already been issued by the laboratory, may be processed under the applicable old standard version. These applications will not be required to retest under the 2026 standard if the testing was already underway before the deadline.
New applications recorded before 02 August 2026 may be processed under either the old or the revised standard. If processed under the old standard, the applicant must submit a declaration confirming they will implement the revised IS 10322:2026 standard by 02 August 2026. This option is not available for applications recorded after the deadline.
Beyond 02 August 2026, no new BIS CRS licence shall be granted under the old standard version. All new applications for LED luminaire products — regardless of category — must be tested and registered under the applicable revised IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026 standard. Applications submitted under the old standard after this date will not be accepted.
For requests to change the scope of an existing licence (adding new lead models or series models), the same provisions as for new applicants apply. Processing under the old standard is permitted only up to the date of the licensee's own switchover to the revised standard, or up to 02 August 2026 — whichever comes first.
The 6-Step BIS CRS Registration Process for LED Luminaires
Whether you are a new applicant or an existing licensee transitioning to IS 10322:2026, the registration and transition process follows a defined sequence. Executing each step correctly — and in time — is what determines whether your LED luminaire products remain legally on the Indian market.
Confirm which of the seven IS 10322 (Part 5) sections applies to your LED luminaire product — Sec 1 (fixed general purpose), Sec 2 (recessed), Sec 3 (road/street), Sec 5 (flood lights), Sec 6 (hand lamps), Sec 7 (lighting chains), or Sec 8 (emergency lighting). Confirm you will register under the revised 2026 version of the applicable standard — mandatory after 02 August 2026 and the only path to a durable registration before it.
Foreign manufacturers must appoint an AIR with a valid business presence in India before the BIS CRS application can be submitted. The AIR holds the registration and bears compliance responsibility in India. Rego Services can act as AIR for foreign manufacturers entering India's LED luminaire market.
Compile all required documents — Declaration of Self-Conformity, Critical Component List (CCL), PCB layout, product specifications, user manual, business licence (government-issued, showing manufacturing scope), ISO certificate, trademark certificate, manufacturing unit address proof, authorised signatory documents, and AIR appointment letter for foreign manufacturers. For existing licensees, also prepare the signed undertaking confirming IS 10322:2026 implementation across series models.
Submit lead model product samples to a BIS-recognised testing laboratory for all mandatory tests under the applicable revised IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026. Ensure the test scope includes all new requirements introduced in IS 10322 (Part 1):2026 — IPX9 (where applicable), EMF safety, PELV system requirements, updated electric shock test with touch voltage and current limits, fan blade protection (where applicable), and extended photobiological requirements. For existing licensees, this is the required fresh test report for all lead models covered in the current licence scope.
File the complete application on the BIS CRS portal, uploading all required documents and test reports under the IS 10322:2026 version, and pay the applicable registration fee. For existing licensees submitting the revised standard update, upload the fresh test reports and the signed undertaking covering all series models. BIS reviews the application and may raise deficiency queries that must be responded to within the stipulated timeframe.
Upon successful BIS review, receive the CRS registration certificate (new applicants) or confirmation of revised standard implementation (existing licensees). Affix the BIS logo — containing the IS Standard Number, BIS icon, unique registration number, and BIS website URL (www.bis.org.in) — on every registered product unit and its packaging before any unit is sold in India. Ensure the product marking label also carries all mandatory information: product name, model number, brand name, power rating, manufacturer's name, and country of origin.
Required Documents Checklist for BIS CRS Registration of LED Luminaires
The following documents are required for BIS CRS registration of LED luminaires — whether for a fresh registration under IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026 or for an existing licensee's IS 10322:2026 transition submission.
- Declaration of Self-Conformity (DSC) — Signed declaration by the manufacturer or AIR confirming that the LED luminaire conforms to the applicable revised IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026 and that the manufacturing facility is capable of producing and testing conforming units on an ongoing basis.

Consequences of Non-Compliance
The consequences of failing to comply with BIS CRS registration requirements for LED luminaires — including the mandatory IS 10322:2026 transition by 02 August 2026 — are both regulatory and commercial.
Existing licensees who fail to implement IS 10322:2026 and submit fresh test reports before 02 August 2026 face BIS-initiated cancellation of their CRS licence or deletion of affected models from the licence scope. This immediately renders those products non-compliant for sale in India.
Selling or importing LED luminaires without valid BIS CRS registration in India is a criminal offence under the BIS Act, 2016 — carrying imprisonment up to two years and fines up to ₹2 lakh (extendable to 10 times the value of non-compliant goods) for a first offence.
LED luminaire products arriving at Indian ports without valid BIS registration, or registered under an expired licence, are detained and may be seized. This represents direct financial loss — including demurrage, warehousing, re-export costs, and the commercial cost of missed delivery commitments.
Major Indian e-commerce platforms and retail chains require valid BIS CRS registration as a listing condition. LED luminaires without valid registration — or with registrations under lapsed licences — are delisted on detection, cutting off access to India's largest consumer and commercial lighting market channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my old IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2012 or :2013 test reports be used for registration after 02 August 2026?
No. After 02 August 2026, BIS will not process new licence applications under the old IS 10322 standard versions — and will not accept test reports issued under the old standards for those applications. Fresh test reports issued under the applicable revised IS 10322 (Part 5/Sec):2026 standard are required for all applications after this date. For existing licensees, the same applies to the fresh test reports required for lead models to transition the licence to IS 10322:2026.
Does the IS 10322:2026 revision affect LED lamps (not just LED luminaires)?
The BIS Guidelines dated 20 March 2026 specifically address the IS 10322 (Part 5) series, which covers LED luminaires — the complete lighting assemblies. LED lamps (the light sources themselves) may be governed by separate BIS standards (such as IS 16102 for LED lamps). Manufacturers and importers should confirm the applicable standard for their specific product type with a BIS consultant, as the standard applicable to a product determines both the testing scope and the applicable transition deadline.
What is the difference between a "lead model" and a "series model" for BIS CRS purposes?
Under BIS CRS series model guidelines, a "lead model" is the primary product model that is physically submitted for testing and whose test report forms the basis of the registration. A "series model" is a variant of the lead model that shares sufficient similarity in construction, circuit design, and applicable standard compliance that it can be covered under the same registration without separate testing — instead, the manufacturer provides an undertaking confirming series model compliance. For the IS 10322:2026 transition, existing licensees must submit fresh test reports for all lead models (tested under the old standard) and undertakings for series models.
Do I need a separate BIS CRS registration for each LED luminaire type (e.g., flood lights and road lights)?
Yes. Each IS 10322 (Part 5) section covers a distinct product category, and a separate BIS registration application is required for each category. A manufacturer producing both LED flood lights (Sec 5) and LED road lighting (Sec 3) would need separate registrations for each — tested under the respective applicable IS 10322 section. This applies regardless of whether both products are made at the same facility or sold under the same brand (though the brand would still require the same brand registration certificate across both applications).
