IS 5807 Part 1 (1975) specifies the standardized method to test the resistance of clear finishes on wooden furniture against dry heat. It provides a procedure to evaluate how well a wood finishing system withstands marking and damage when exposed to hot liquids, simulating real-world conditions such as contact with hot containers. This standard is essential for manufacturers, quality controllers, and engineers involved in furniture finishing to ensure durability and aesthetic retention under heat exposure.

IS 5807 Part 1 (1975) covers "Code of Practice for Design and Construction of Concrete Chimneys".
Wind Pressure, p:
[
p = k_z \cdot k_d \cdot V^2 / 2g
]
where (k_z) = height factor, (k_d) = direction factor, (V) = wind velocity.
Bending Moment, M:
[
M = p \times h \times \frac{h}{2}
]
where (h) = height of chimney.
Axial Stress, (\sigma):
[
\sigma = \frac{P}{A} + \frac{M \cdot y}{I}
]
where (P) = axial load, (A) = cross-sectional area, (y) = distance from neutral axis, (I) = moment of inertia.
| Material | Characteristic Strength |
|---|---|
| Concrete | 20-40 MPa (depending on grade) |
| Steel (Rebar) | 415 MPa (Fe 415 grade) |

| 3 | Slight | Barely observable on examination; magnification may help confirm |
| 2 | Moderate | Readily observable with casual examination |
| 0 | Severe | Complete breakdown or total change |
Surface Imperfection Acceptability (Clause 7.1):

Includes excessive sticking, blistering, cracking, visible marks, colour change, blushing, rings, spotting, loss of gloss.
Loading diagram...
Summary: Surface imperfections must be rated by five independent observers on a 0-5 scale, with a minimum average rating of 5 (no change) for acceptance.
According to IS 5807 Part 1, the finishing system should be aged as follows before testing:
Additionally, for test preparation:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Aging temperature | 27 ± 2 °C |
| Relative humidity | 65 ± 5 % |
| Aging duration | Minimum 28 days |
| Panel rest before test | Minimum 16 hours |
This ensures the finishing system reaches adequate maturity for reliable test results.
According to IS 5807 Part 1, during assessment, the following visible marks and changes are evaluated:
| Rating | Description |

| 5 | No change (original condition retained) |
| 4 | Trace (barely visible; may require X10 magnification) |
| 3 | Slight (barely observable; magnification helpful) |
| 2 | Moderate (readily observable with casual examination) |
| 0 | Severe (complete breakdown or total change) |
| Visible Mark | Minimum Average Rating (R) |
