BIS CERTIFICATION FOR WOODEN FLUSH DOOR SHUTTERS (CELLULAR AND HOLLOW CORE TYPE) WITH PLYWOOD FACE PANELS IS 2191(Part 1):2022

BIS certification is a mandatory requirement for wooden flush door shutters with cellular or hollow core construction and plywood face panels, as specified under IS 2191 (Part 1): 2022 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). These doors are widely used in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings due to their cost-effectiveness, strength, and aesthetic appeal.

Types of Wooden Flush Door Shutters

1. Cellular Core Wooden Flush Door Shutters: Featuring a lightweight honeycomb structure—typically made from materials like corrugated cardboard—cellular core flush doors are affordable, lightweight, and easy to install. Ideal for interior applications, they offer good insulation and soundproofing properties.

2. Hollow Core Wooden Flush Door Shutters: These doors have a hollow interior within the frame, generally covered with plywood face panels. Hollow core doors are economical and lightweight, best suited for internal spaces. However, they provide lower sound insulation compared to solid core doors.

Manufacturers in the woodworking and construction industry must comply with the IS 2191 (Part 1): 2022 standard to ensure the production of high-quality wooden flush doors. This standard specifies detailed requirements for materials, construction, and performance, ensuring that the doors are durable, reliable, and meet safety and quality benchmarks.
