18-Jul-2023 (In Startup Law)
Hello, as there are many certifications present such as - FCC / CE / ROHS being a known few, out of all of these, what are mandatory (legally required) for a computer component - computer cabinet, made out of these following basic materials - metal, plastic & rubber, need to have in order to be sold primarily at e-commerce websites such as Amazon, Flipkart etc. I'd like to mention that it has no sharp / moving parts / electronics, apart from the screws provided in a separate pouch clearly labeled as a 'Choking Hazard'. Best, ZG

The FCC is for USA and CE is for European Union, while ROHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive. These all are such certification which although carries immense credibility at the global level but are not mandatory for Indian Market or better say you can't sell out your product in Indian Market by the help of these certification or any other of these sorts of.
In India to sell out an electronic component or part thereto (computer components is also considered as electronic components) it is mandatory to have BIS certification which is given by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
To putforth in a very blunt manner if you have BIS certification on your product go ahead and sell out your product in Indian market irrespective of the fact you have no other certificate on your product, but if you have all the international certification but not the BIS one sorry you are not allowed to sell out your product in India. You please carry on your business somewhere else.
