ISI / BIS Certification for Wooden Flush Door Shutters (Solid core type) – Particle board, High Density Fibre Board, Medium Density Fibre Board and Fibre Hardboard Face Panels

Because of its robustness, attractiveness, and adaptability, solid-core wooden flush door shutters are frequently utilized in both residential and commercial structures. The solid core material of these door shutters is encased between facing panels. Particle board, High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF), and fiber hardboard are a few examples of core materials that are customizable.

An outline of these materials and how they are used in wooden flush door shutters is provided below:

Particle board:  Particle board is created by compressing wood fragments, such as sawdust, wood chips, and sawmill shavings, into a solid sheet using adhesives. It is appropriate for low-moisture exposure locations and interior doors. It can be utilized, particularly for non-load-bearing doors, as the central component of flush door shutters.

High-Density Fiberboard (HDF): To make a dense and consistent panel, wood fibers—typically hardwood—are mixed with glue and crushed. For internal doors, such as bedroom doors and ornamental doors, HDF core flush door shutters are frequently utilized. They work well for laminating, painting, and veneering.

Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF): More affordable than high-density fiberboard (HDF), MDF is composed of a combination of hardwood and softwood fibers. Depending on its quality and moisture resistance, MDF core flush door shutters can be used on both exterior and interior doors.

For producers in the woodworking and construction sectors, the IS Standard IS 2202 (Part 2):2022 for wooden flush door shutters (solid core type) with particle board, High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF), and Fiber Hardboard Face Panels is crucial. Ensuring manufacturers create wooden flush door shutters that fulfill strict quality requirements is ensured by compliance with IS 2202 (Part 2):2022. This standard provides precise specifications for components, workmanship, and functionality, which helps to produce door shutters that are long-lasting and of the highest caliber.

Note: Before introducing their products to the Indian market, makers of solid core hardwood flush door shutters with particle board, high-density fiber board, medium-density fiber board, and fiber hardboard face panels are required to get ISI Mark Certification.

The significance of quality and compliance in the field of building and construction materials is emphasized by ISI Certification. Wooden flush door shutters are essential parts of door systems that are frequently seen in both residential and commercial buildings. To guarantee their robustness, stability, and functionality, they must adhere to strict technical requirements and safety norms. This certification is essential to ensure that these shutters meet the required requirements, safety guidelines, and quality standards, which will eventually improve the doors' performance and safety in a variety of applications.

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.

Process of ISI / BIS Certification

There are two approaches for Indian manufacturers to become certified with the ISI Mark:

• Regular Procedure
• Simplified Procedure 

Regular Procedure

With the possible exception of cases deemed "All India first," which might take up to 180 days, the licensing procedure is expected to be finished in 120 days. This timeline starts on the day the application is received, assuming that at different points in time the documentation, unit assessment, and product conformance are all deemed acceptable.

Step 1: Manufacturing Unit Customization in Compliance with Applicable Indian Standards

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities as per the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Submission of the Application Form

• Preparing an Internal Test Report for the product by the relevant Indian Standard
• Compiling all necessary documents
• Completing the Online Application Form
• Online payment of application fees directly to BIS
• Submitting hard copies of the Application Form with all enclosures to the relevant Branch Office (BO) of BIS

Simplified Procedure

This is a much faster process than the standard procedure. After a factory inspection is deemed satisfactory and the initial evaluation establishes that the sample complies with the applicable Indian Standard(s), the license application process is expected to be finished in 30 days.

Step 1: Adapting the Manufacturing Unit to Comply with the Relevant Indian Standard

• Identifying the applicable Indian Standard
• Establishing in-house testing facilities to meet the Standard's requirements

Step 2: Sample Testing

• Obtaining the necessary certificate for raw materials (Material Test Certificate - MTC)
• Conducting product sample testing at a BIS-recognized testing laboratory
