ISI / BIS Certification for Wooden flush door shutters (solid core type) – Plywood face panels

In both residential and commercial construction, plywood face panels and solid core wooden flush door shutters are frequently utilized for interior doors. These doors are renowned for their strength, adaptability, and longevity, which makes them ideal for a variety of uses. A solid core material is layered between two plywood facing panels to create solid core doors. A variety of materials, such as particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, or a blend of wood fibers and adhesives, can be used to create the solid core. Wood veneer is layered, or plied, and bound together with adhesive to form plywood face panels. The solid core has these panels attached to both sides.

For producers in the woodworking and construction sectors, the IS Standard IS 2202 (Part 1):1999 for Wooden Flush Door Shutters (Solid Core Type) with Plywood Face Panels is very important. This standard ensures that wooden flush door shutters are built in accordance with structural integrity standards by defining criteria and specifications. Producers that follow this criterion create doors that are durable enough to endure regular usage while retaining their design and functioning. Manufacturers may guarantee the safety of their wooden flush door shutters by adhering to IS 2202 (Part 1):1999, which lowers the possibility of mishaps and injuries.

Note: To manufacture flush door shutters with plywood front panels and a solid core of wood, manufacturers must get the ISI Mark Certification.

In order to guarantee that these plywood-based door shutters meet strict technical requirements, safety laws, and quality standards, ISI Certification is essential. This certification eventually improves the functioning and safety of doors in a variety of applications. It gives homeowners, builders, and architects peace of mind knowing the wooden flush door shutters they use in their projects are of the best caliber, guaranteeing the protection and safety of structures.

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.
