ISI / BIS Certification for Wooden flush door shutters (cellular and hollow core type) – Particle board and hardboard face panels

In both residential and commercial construction, wooden flush door shutters with cellular and hollow core types and particle board and hardboard face panels are frequently utilized for inside doors. These doors combine cost, strength, and usefulness in just the right amounts. These doors' main characteristic is its core construction, which can be hollow or cellular (honeycomb), with particle board or hardboard used for the face panels. These doors are a sensible option for interior applications since they are frequently less expensive than solid wood doors. Face panels made of particle board and hardboard have homogeneous, smooth surfaces that can be painted, covered in veneers, or laminated. These doors may be customized to meet interior decor because they are available in a variety of patterns and finishes.

An important factor in the production of wooden flush door shutters in India is the IS Standard IS 2191 (Part 2):2022 for cellular and hollow core type shutters with particle board and hardboard face panels. Manufacturers are guaranteed to provide superior-quality wooden flush door shutters when they comply with IS 2191 (Part 2):2022. Strict specifications for performance, structure, and materials are established by this standard, which helps to produce door shutters that are long-lasting and of the highest caliber.

Note: The obligatory ISI Mark Certification must be obtained by manufacturers of particle board and hardboard face panels for hardwood flush door shutters (cellular and hollow core types).

The ISI Certification is essential for ensuring that these door shutters meet the required requirements, safety guidelines, and quality standards, which in turn improves door operation and safety in a variety of applications. This accreditation demonstrates a manufacturer's dedication to providing door solutions that not only satisfy but also surpass the Bureau of Indian criteria' (BIS) strict quality and safety criteria.

About ISI / BIS Certification

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.
