FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1962 and subsequently revised in 1966, 1973, 1980, 1983 and 1991.
During this period, the standard has undergone modification relating to grade of doors, spices of timbers and
inclusion of slamming test. In April 1995 Amendment No. 3 was issued, making obligatory that door shutters
shall be subjected to all tests covered in IS 4020 (Parts 1 to 17) : 1994. All tests specified in IS 4020 (Parts 1 to
... 17): 1994 have been included and their respective requirements have been detailed therein.
In this revision, the standard is modified in lieu of modifications suggested in IS 4020 (Parts 1 to 16) : 1998.
The salient features in this revision are:
a) Requirements that are to be met with door shutters arc given against the respective tests in IS 4020
(Parts 1 to 16) : 1998;
b) Requirement for differential humidity test has been deleted;
c) Important modification has been made in the requirement of stiles and rails;
d) Type tests and acceptance tests are defined;
e) Classification of tests, that is, acceptance tests and type test have been listed;
f) Number of shutters to be tested for different tests arc spell out; and
g) List of species of timber being imported is included. Due to restrictions on felling from forests in the
country, a number of timber species have been imported for various timber products. Group 2B of
Annex B gives a list of such species which have reportedly been used for the manufacture of doors and
windows.
As per the Gazette Notification No. GSR 216(E) dated 17 OS 96, published in the Gazette of India, Extra-
ordinary Part II - Section 3 - Sub-Section (i), No. 170. dated 18 May 1996, the requirements ofECO Mark have
been included in this revision as follows:
UA scheme of labelling environment friendly products to be known as ECO Mark is being introduced at the
instance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO Mark shall be
administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the BJ..f;) Act, 1986 as per the Resolution No. 71
dated 21 February 1991 published in the Gazette of India. For a product to be eligible for ECO Mark, it shall
also carry the Standard Mark of the BIS besides meeting additional optional enviromncnt friendly requirements."
Technical Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed
or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off
numerical values ( revised)' .
