Smart glasses split further based on whether the camera shoots stills only or also records video, one detail that changes the whole classification. BIS requires a separate licence for each product name listed here, so a brand selling both AR glasses and a VR headset needs two registrations, not one.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Applicable BIS Standard for Smart Glasses & XR Products<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nEvery product in this category now answers to a single safety benchmark, replacing what used to be scattered across older standards.<\/span><\/p>\nIS\/IEC 62368-1:2023 covers audio, video, IT and communication equipment, and it’s the standard XR devices must test against going forward. A transition window lets manufacturers keep using the older IS 13252 (Part 1):2010 or IS 616:2017 alongside it, but only until 1 May 2026. After that date, licences still running on the old standards face cancellation unless updated test reports come in.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n| \n Standard<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Status<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n IS\/IEC 62368-1:2023<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Mandatory from 1 May 2026 onward<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n IS 13252 (Part 1):2010<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Legacy, valid only till 1 May 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| \n IS 616:2017<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Legacy, valid only till 1 May 2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/span>Which Smart Glasses & XR Devices Require BIS CRS Registration?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nMost connected eyewear and immersive hardware sold in India falls somewhere in this net now, and the list is broader than most sellers expect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- AR smart glasses with an overlay display<\/span><\/li>\n

<\/span>BIS CRS Registration Requirements for Smart Glasses<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nGetting registered means matching your product to the right category, arranging testing, and filing with accurate technical documentation. There’s no factory audit involved, so the real work sits in getting the paperwork and lab report right the first time. Indian manufacturers can file directly. Brand owners who source from a third-party manufacturer still need the registration tied to their brand name and product.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>BIS CRS Registration Process for Smart Glasses in India<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\nFiling runs entirely online through the CRS portal, and the sequence rarely changes regardless of which XR sub-category applies to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Step 1: Confirm the Exact Product Classification<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n | | | | | | | | | |
