?What are the specified dimensions and tolerances for different door shutter thicknesses?

According to IS 1823 Clause 4.2, the specified dimensions and tolerances for door shutter thicknesses (30, 35, 40, 45 mm) are:

Thickness (mm)A (mm)B (mm)C Min (mm)T1 Casting (mm)T1 Sheet (mm)Wood Screw for Casting (mm)Wood Screw for Sheet Metal (mm)No. of Holes
3035140134.53984
354014084.53984
4045150134.53984
455015084.53984

Tolerances:

  • A: +0.5 mm
  • B: ±0.5 mm
  • T1 (Casting & Sheet): +0.3 mm / -0 mm
  • C Min, Screws, Holes: No tolerance specified

This ensures compatibility of floor door stoppers with door shutters of these thicknesses.


Key:

  • A, B, C: Dimensions related to door stopper fitting
  • T1: Thickness of casting and sheet metal parts
  • Wood Screws: Designation sizes for fixing

This table is crucial for manufacturing and installation precision.

?How should floor door stoppers be marked and packaged according to the standard?

According to IS 1823 (1980), floor door stoppers should be marked and packaged as follows:

Marking (Clause 6.1)

Each door stopper must be clearly and permanently marked with:

  • Manufacturer's name or trade-mark
  • Size of shutter for which it is suitable

Packaging

While the standard does not explicitly specify packaging details, the marking ensures easy identification and suitability for the door size.

Additional Notes on Manufacture (Clause 4.5)

  • A rubber piece must be attached at the extreme end to absorb shocks.
  • Rubber must meet requirements in Table 3, e.g.:
    • Relative density ≤ 1.3
    • Hardness 60 ± 5 (Shore A)
    • No brittleness/tackiness after ageing at 100 ±1ºC for 24 h

This ensures durability and functional performance of the stopper.


Summary Table for Marking

Marking DetailRequirement
Manufacturer's name/trade-markPermanent and clear
Suitable shutter sizeClearly indicated

If you need packaging recommendations, ensure protection from damage and clear labeling matching the marking requirements.

?What sampling methods are recommended to verify conformity?

Sampling Method as per IS 1823 for Floor Door Stoppers:

  • Sampling Scale (Clause A-1.3 & Table A-1):
    • Select stoppers randomly from at least 10% of randomly chosen packages, max 3 stoppers per package.
    • Sample size depends on lot size:
Lot SizeSample SizeMax Defective Allowed
Up to 1005C (no defect allowed)
101 to 300201
301 to 500322
501 to 1,000503
Above 1,000805
  • Tests (Clause A-2.1):

    • All sampled stoppers must be checked for dimensions, material, manufacture, and finish.
    • Any failure in these aspects marks the stopper as defective.
  • Conformity Criterion (Clause A-3):

    • The lot conforms if the number of defective stoppers ≤ permissible number in the table.

This ensures statistically valid quality control by random sampling and clear acceptance criteria.

?Can floor door stoppers under this standard carry the ISI Certification Mark?

According to Clause 6.2 of IS 1823 (Third Revision):

  • Floor door stoppers may be marked with the ISI Certification Mark.
  • The ISI mark indicates compliance with the standard, ensured by a system of inspection, testing, and quality control supervised by the Indian Standards Institution (ISI).
  • Use of the ISI mark is regulated under the Indian Standards Institution (Certification Marks) Act and related rules.
  • Manufacturers must obtain a license from ISI to use the ISI mark on floor door stoppers.
  • ISI continuously monitors marked products for conformity, providing assurance of quality and standard compliance.

In summary: Floor door stoppers under IS 1823 can carry the ISI mark only if licensed by ISI and produced under the prescribed quality system.
