Floor springs (hydraulically regulated) are robust and reliable mechanisms designed for the controlled closing of heavy doors. These devices are installed in the floor and use hydraulic technology to ensure smooth and efficient door movement, preventing slamming and facilitating safe closure.
Ideal for large, heavy doors in commercial or public spaces, floor springs offer adjustable closing speed and strength, providing precise control over door operation. They are known for their durability and ability to handle continuous, heavy use, making them a preferred choice for enhancing the safety and functionality of entryways.
Introduction
The Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, via the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade, issued the Door Fittings (Quality Control) Order, 2023,
enforcing mandatory BIS certification for floor springs (hydraulically
regulated) used in heavy doors. This requirement, according to Indian Standard
IS 6315:1992, ensures that all floor springs meet strict quality and safety
standards. The BIS certification, indicated by the ISI Mark, confirms
compliance with these standards, providing assurance of durability,
performance, and safety. This regulatory move aims to protect consumers and
maintain product reliability, promoting a standardized approach to door
fittings in India.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Floor Springs (Hydraulically Regulated) for Heavy Doors?
BIS certification
for hydraulically regulated floor springs used in heavy doors is crucial to
ensure product safety, quality, and reliability. The Door Fittings (Quality
Control) Order, 2023 mandates compliance with IS 6315:1992, a standard that
specifies key performance benchmarks for these devices. Certification helps in
maintaining consistency across products, ensuring that only those meeting
stringent criteria are available on the market. This safeguards end-users from
potential hazards associated with substandard equipment. Manufacturers are
obligated to adhere to this standard to provide customers with dependable
solutions. Non-compliance can result in penalties as outlined in the Bureau of
Indian Standards Act, 2016.
Overview of Indian
Standard IS 6315:1992
Indian Standard IS
6315:1992 sets out the technical requirements for hydraulically regulated floor
springs used for heavy doors, focusing on durability, performance, and safety.
It includes specifications for the door closer’s strength, load capacity,
endurance, and smooth operation under various conditions. The standard aims to
ensure that floor springs perform consistently, handling the demands of
heavy-duty usage in commercial and public spaces. Compliance with IS 6315:1992,
as mandated by the Door Fittings (Quality Control) Order, 2023, assures that
the product meets the highest quality standards. This regulation promotes
safety and enhances consumer trust in the durability of floor spring devices.
The BIS
certification process for Floor Springs (Hydraulically Regulated) for Heavy
Doors involves multiple steps, designed to thoroughly evaluate a product's
