Hydraulically regulated door closers are advanced mechanisms designed to control the closing speed and force of doors, ensuring smooth and secure operation. These door closers use hydraulic technology to adjust the door's closing action, preventing slamming and offering reliable control in various settings.
Suitable for both residential and commercial spaces, these closers are known for their durability, quiet performance, and ability to handle different door weights and sizes. The hydraulic regulation feature allows users to fine-tune the closing speed, enhancing safety, and maintaining optimal door function over time.
Introduction
The Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, through the Department for Promotion of Industry and
Internal Trade, has enforced the Door Fittings (Quality Control) Order, 2023,
mandating BIS certification for all hydraulically regulated door closers. This
certification, under Indian Standard IS 3564:1995, ensures that door closers
meet specific quality and safety benchmarks. The BIS (ISI Mark) is a sign of
compliance with these standards, indicating that the product has been
rigorously tested. This requirement aims to protect consumers by ensuring that
only high-quality, safe door closers are sold in the Indian market, fostering
trust and standardization in the industry.
Why is BIS Certification
Necessary for Hydraulically Regulated Door Closers?
BIS certification
is crucial for hydraulically regulated door closers to guarantee that these
products meet essential safety and performance criteria. The Door Fittings
(Quality Control) Order, 2023 requires compliance with Indian Standard IS
3564:1995, ensuring the door closers are reliable and adhere to quality
standards. This certification helps prevent issues like improper closing, which
can compromise security or safety in commercial and residential spaces.
Manufacturers must obtain the BIS certification to assure customers that their
products are safe and dependable. Non-compliance with the order can result in
penalties under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 2016.
Overview of Indian
