Electronics Games (Video)

Electronic Games (Video) for the Indian Market: An Overview

consumer electronics industry. From gaming consoles and portable gaming devices to interactive electronic gaming systems, there is growing demand for technologically superior games in the nation. However, prior to their lawful importation, manufacture, distribution, or sale in India, such gaming products have to conform to the regulatory requirements laid down by the Government of India..

BIS CRS Registration and EPR Registration for Electronics are the two compliance norms for Electronic Games (Video). Compliance with these norms ensures that the product is safe and meets quality standards and the electronics waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

BIS Certification guarantees the safety of electronic games and protects consumers against any electrical hazards or poor quality products.

Products need to be tested in an accredited laboratory by BIS in accordance with the relevant Indian Standard IS 616:2017 and the revised Indian Standard IS/IEC 62368-1:2023.
