BIS CERTIFICATION FOR DOOR HANDLES FOR MORTICE LOCKS (VERTICAL TYPE) AS PER IS 4992:1975

INTRODUCTION:

In the realm of door hardware, precision and reliability are paramount, especially for components like door handles for mortice locks. Ensuring seamless operation and longevity, these handles are not only functional but also integral to the security of any space. Guiding the manufacturing and procurement processes for such critical components is the Indian Standard IS 4992. This article delves into the significance of IS 4992, the role of BIS certification in upholding quality standards, and the indispensable contribution of Omega QMS Pvt. Ltd. in facilitating compliance and certification processes for door handle manufacturers.

IS 4992:1975 DOOR HANDLES FOR MORTICE LOCKS (VERTICAL TYPE):

This standard covers the requirements for door handles for the operation of mortice locks (vertical type). Typical details of two types of door handles, namely, handle type and knob type, are given in IS 4992:1975. Door handles can be manufactured in other shapes and sizes as agreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser. Suitable alternative materials for manufacturing door handles are specified. The purchaser should specify the particular material while placing the order. Door handles must be suitable for fitting to the doors, ensuring a snug fit of the connecting rod in the mortice lock follower and the socket handle, working positively in combination with the follower. Door handles are normally made to the dimensions and tolerances given in IS 4992:1975 but may be manufactured in other shapes and dimensions with mutual agreement. Randomly picked samples must withstand 1,000 operations without showing damage. When subjected to a horizontal load of 100 kg in its extreme position, a door handle shall not develop cracks, lose shape, or get damaged. Door handles must be defect-free, with all sharp edges removed.

QUALITY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORKS: GOVERNMENTAL APPROACH

The Government of India periodically updates Quality Control Orders (QCO), expanding its coverage to include more products. Recently, Door Handles for Mortice Locks as per IS 4992:1975 has been included in the ambit of QCO. A significant provision mandates that products imported into India must have BIS Certification.

QUALITY CONTROL ORDER (TECHNICAL REGULATION) ISSUED BY DPIIT:

The DPIIT, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Govt. of India, issued an order making BIS Certification mandatory for door handles for mortice locks used in India. This applies to products.
