BIS CERTIFICATION FOR WOODEN FLUSH DOOR SHUTTERS (CELLULAR AND HOLLOW CORE TYPE) - PARTICLE BOARD AND HARDBOARD FACE PANELS IS 2191: PART 2: 2022

BIS Certification is compulsory for Wooden flush door shutters (cellular and hollow core type) with Particle board and hardboard face panels, as outlined in BIS IS 2191 (Part 2): 2022. These door shutters find extensive use in residential and commercial construction, providing an optimal blend of affordability, durability, and aesthetic appeal. They are chiefly recognized for their construction featuring hollow or cellular (honeycomb) cores and Particle board and hardboard face panels.

Two common types of these door shutters are:

Cellular Core Wooden Flush Door Shutters: Designed with a honeycomb-like structure composed of lightweight materials like corrugated cardboard, cellular core doors present an affordable and lightweight option. Ideal for interior use, they provide satisfactory soundproofing and insulation capabilities.

Hollow Core Wooden Flush Door Shutters: Featuring an empty space within the door frame and typically clad with plywood face panels, hollow core doors offer affordability and lightness. While suitable for indoor applications, they may not offer the same level of soundproofing as solid core doors.

Manufacturers in the woodworking and construction sectors need to comply with IS Standard IS 2191 (Part 2): 2022 for hardwood flush door shutters to ensure the production of top-quality products meeting rigorous standards. This standard specifies precise specifications for components, craftsmanship, and functionality, guaranteeing the development of durable and high-quality door shutters.
