IS 12073 - Field of Application Summary

This standard applies to dimensionally coordinated buildings, specifying coordinating sizes for doorsets and windowsets of all materials.

Key Points:

• Basic Module (M): Sizes follow modular coordination principles (from IS 4993 & IS 6408).
• Windowsets Larger than Basic Sizes: Widths and heights must be multiples of 3M (Clause 5.2.2).
• Coordinating Sizes: Standardized heights and widths for doors and windows ensure interchangeability and ease of construction.

Typical Coordinating Sizes (Height × Width in mm):

Note: Heights and widths increase in increments of 100 mm or multiples of the basic module.

Recommendations:

• Use coordinating sizes for doorsets and windowsets to maintain uniformity.
• For larger windowsets, sizes must be multiples of 3M.
• Refer to IS 1949 for aluminium window specifications in industrial buildings.

IS 12073 Modular Coordination Principles - Key Points

1. Modular Coordination Basics (Clause 4.1)

• Horizontal coordinating spaces for doors/windows relate to horizontal preferred multimodules controlling widths.
• Vertical coordinating spaces depend on controlling reference lines for vertical dimensions.
• Coordination follows IS 7921-1986 (horizontal) & IS 7922-1986 (vertical).

2. Basic Module (M)

• The basic module M = 100 mm (standard modular unit).
• Widths and heights of door/window sets are multiples of M or 3M for larger sizes.

3. Coordinating Sizes (Clause 5.2.2)

• For larger windowsets, dimensions must be multiples of 3M.
• Door/window widths and heights are selected from preferred coordinating sizes based on modular increments.

4. Typical Coordinating Sizes (in mm)

5. Practical Formula for Dimensions

• Dimension = n × M where n = integer (1, 2, 3, ...)
• For larger windows:
  [ \text{Width or Height} = m \times 3M, \quad m \in \mathbb{Z}^+ ]

IS 12073: Recommendations for Tolerances and Manufacturing

Key Points from IS 12073:

• Clause 4.3:
  Material specifications, manufacturing tolerances, and details for frames and shutters should follow relevant Indian Standards (e.g., IS 1038 for doors/windows).

• Clause 5.2.2: Modular Coordination

  • Window set widths and heights for higher coordinating sizes must be multiples of 3M (M = Basic Module).
  • This modular system ensures interchangeability and ease of manufacturing.

Modular Coordination Summary:

Typical Coordinating Sizes (Examples):

Manufacturing Tolerances (General Guidance):

• Follow IS 1038 or relevant IS for dimensional tolerances.
• Typical tolerance on dimensions: ±2 mm for frame sizes.
• Squareness tolerance: ≤ 2 mm per meter length.
• Surface finish and material quality per relevant IS codes.
