Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Parts 1 to 16) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
rhe Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1967 and revised in 1992 and 1994. However, during the course of this
period, a number of improvements have been made in carrying out these methods of tests and accordingly this
standard is now being revised to bring it up-to-date.
Though 1994 version was published superseding IS 13034, IS 13027 (Parts 1 and 2) and to give a realistic
relationship between the actual performances needed and the requirements that should be ensured for controlling
the quality of production, some of the tests were not able to be conducted even by research laboratories.
Therefore, the Wood and Other Lignocellulosic Materials Subcommittee, CED ll:l, had discussed these
problems and recommended for the early revision of this standard.
In this revision the following modifications have been made :
a) Equipment and criteria for conformity clauses have been removed from all parts.
b) Sampling and criteria for conformity clauses have to be suitably included in the respective product
specifications.
c) Procedure clauses for some tests have been altered/simplified in view of difficulties experienced.
d) Differential Humidity Test has been deleted, considering the following factors:
i) Test facilities are not existing presently in the country;
ii) Cost of testing is very expensive at this stage; and
iii) This test is quite time consuming.
The situation will be reviewed after test facilities are installed.
Due weightage has also been given to the need for international coordination amongst standards prevailing in
different countries of the world.
Technical Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.
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)‘.

from the bottom of the door at right angles to the plane
of the door shutter and in the direction of opening, in
increments of 100 N each. Incremental load is applied
only after stabilization of the deformation created by
the previous loading. The deformation at the lower
free corner is measured to an accuracy of 1 mm

is prised upward. It is essential that the knife be firmly
guided along the glue line.

in 3.2 may be used.
3.2 Procedure
The central core strips shall be forcibly separated from
its adjacent veneer by a chisel inserted in the bond
line and affecting the separation in the direction of
the core strips. The capacity of the bond should be
judged by the relative amount of wood fibres left by
the veneer and the core strips. Force shall be needed
to effect the separation. The grading should
