Scheme distribution splits between the ISI Mark Scheme for 51 codes (air-conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters) and the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) under the Electronics and Information Technology Goods (Requirements for Compulsory Registration) Order for 39 codes (laptops, tablets, printers, monitors).
