This ensures compatibility of floor door stoppers with door shutters of these thicknesses.
This table is crucial for manufacturing and installation precision.
According to IS 1823 (1980), floor door stoppers should be marked and packaged as follows:
Each door stopper must be clearly and permanently marked with:
While the standard does not explicitly specify packaging details, the marking ensures easy identification and suitability for the door size.
This ensures durability and functional performance of the stopper.
| Marking Detail | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer's name/trade-mark | Permanent and clear |
| Suitable shutter size | Clearly indicated |
If you need packaging recommendations, ensure protection from damage and clear labeling matching the marking requirements.
Sampling Method as per IS 1823 for Floor Door Stoppers:
| Lot Size | Sample Size | Max Defective Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 100 | 5 | C (no defect allowed) |
| 101 to 300 | 20 | 1 |
| 301 to 500 | 32 | 2 |
| 501 to 1,000 | 50 | 3 |
| Above 1,000 | 80 | 5 |
Tests (Clause A-2.1):
Conformity Criterion (Clause A-3):
This ensures statistically valid quality control by random sampling and clear acceptance criteria.
According to Clause 6.2 of IS 1823 (Third Revision):
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.
