Published Date: November 20, 2024 4 min Read

Introduction

A popular Indian Standard (IS) for hydraulically controlled door closers in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings is IS 3564: 1995 under BIS Certification. These door closers improve durability and safety by ensuring smooth, regulated door motions. They come in a variety of forms and are essential parts of the hardware sector, which benefits both domestic producers to sell products in India and international manufacturers that import items into India.

Getting certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is essential for manufacturers. In India, door closers must have the ISI Mark, a quality indicator. For a seamless import, foreign producers must follow BIS certification requirements, which include QCO (Quality Control Order) compliance, BIS license, and customs clearance. Manufacturers have a competitive advantage in the Indian market because of BIS certification and get ISI Mark, which guarantees that products fulfill safety criteria.

OVERVIEW

The specifications for exposed hydraulic door closers used on vertical, one-way doors up to 80 kg are specified in IS 3564: 1995. These closers guarantee safe and appropriate door operation by automatically closing the door once it has been opened. The standard outlines the design, functionality, and installation of hydraulic door closers, particularly for doors with a single hinge. It does not, however, apply to mechanical or pneumatic door closers or disguised hydraulic door closers. The goal is to guarantee hydraulic door closers' dependability and uniformity in operation across a range of applications.
