Each product variant needs its own test report. More SKUs mean more lab testing, which is the biggest single cost.

Anywhere from ₹40,000 to ₹3,00,000, depending on what you're certifying. CRS for electronics is usually cheaper than ISI for manufacturers. The big variables are your SKU count, lab testing fees, whether you use a consultant, and the annual marking fee. The calculator above gives you a product-specific number in seconds.
A few things: how complex your product is, how busy your lab is, whether your paperwork is complete, and BIS officer availability (ISI needs a factory inspection). CRS usually lands in 4 to 8 weeks, while ISI can stretch to 3 to 8 months. In a hurry? Fast-track costs 30% more but moves faster.
If it's your first time, yes. A good consultant handles the paperwork, coordinates with the lab, files on the Manakonline portal, and preps you for the factory inspection if you're going the ISI route. They cost ₹30,000 to ₹1,00,000, but they usually save you 4 to 8 weeks and keep you from getting rejected over a missed document.
