Published Date: March 08, 2025 4 min Read

BIS certification is essential for Upholstered Composites Used for Non-Domestic Furniture as per IS 15768:2008. This standard ensures that upholstered composites meet stringent quality and safety requirements for use in commercial and institutional furniture applications. Certification guarantees that these materials undergo rigorous testing for fire resistance, durability, mechanical strength, and overall performance, ensuring their suitability for high-traffic environments such as offices, hotels, hospitals, and public buildings. Compliance with IS 15768:2008 reflects a manufacturer’s commitment to producing high-quality, safe, and long-lasting upholstered furniture materials.

IS 15768 – Upholstered Composites Used for Non-Domestic Furniture

This standard specifies the technical requirements and testing methods for upholstered composites intended for use in non-domestic furniture. It defines critical performance parameters such as tensile strength, abrasion resistance, flammability, and resistance to wear and tear. Upholstered composites must exhibit high resilience, fire safety compliance, and resistance to environmental factors to ensure longevity and user safety. Testing procedures under this standard assess material composition, structural integrity, and compliance with fire-retardant properties, making it a crucial certification for manufacturers supplying furniture for commercial and institutional sectors.

Benefits of BIS Certification for Upholstered Composites in Non-Domestic Furniture

BIS certification under IS 15768:2008 ensures compliance with national quality and safety standards, enhancing product reliability and market acceptance. For manufacturers, certification provides regulatory compliance, a competitive advantage, and increased trust from buyers and project developers. For end users, certified upholstered composites offer assured durability, fire safety, and performance, making them ideal for non-domestic settings that demand high-quality materials. Certification also facilitates approval processes for large-scale furnishing projects in commercial and institutional sectors.
