Butt hinges made of non-ferrous metal are made of alloys of metallic materials like copper, brass, bronze, or aluminum that don't include a lot of iron. Because these hinges are made of non-iron, they have several benefits, chief among them being resistance to corrosion, which makes them perfect for outdoor or maritime applications where moisture exposure is frequent. Furthermore, some non-ferrous metals, such as bronze or brass, have distinctive patinas or finishes that add to their attractive appearance and make them suited for architectural or ornamental uses. They offer steady support, regulated movement, and flexible design that allow customisation to meet certain practical or esthetic requirements. Certain non-ferrous metal hinges are helpful in situations where weight is a critical factor because of their lightweight nature.
Non-ferrous metal butt hinges are in high demand because they are corrosion resistant, aesthetically pleasing, versatile, and appropriate for a variety of specialized applications in a variety of sectors.
Under IS 205: 1992, all non-ferrous metal butt hinges are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
1.1The specifications stated in this standard apply to butt hinges made of non-ferrous metals. It describes the physical and chemical requirements, testing protocols, and production requirements for non-ferrous metal butt hinges.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
