UNVEILING INDIAN STANDARD 208:2020

IS 208:2020 lays down comprehensive guidelines for the materials, manufacture, dimensions, finish, and performance requirements of door handles commonly fixed to doors. It categorizes door handles into four types based on the materials used: cast, pressed oval, pressed half oval, and fabricated. The standard specifies the permissible materials for each type, ensuring compliance with relevant Indian Standard. Additionally, it outlines manufacturing requirements to ensure defect-free, well-finished door handles that are easy to handle and durable. The standard also provides detailed dimensions, tolerances, and finish specifications for various types of door handles, along with performance tests such as pencil hardness, corrosion resistance, and quenching tests to ensure durability and reliability.
