SPECIFICATION FOR

( SOLID CORE TYPE )
PART 2 PARTICLE BOARD AND HARDBOARD

( Third Revision )
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Third Revision) was adopted by the
Indian Standards Institution on 30 June 1983, after the draft finalized
by the Doors, Windows and Shutters Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1962 and subsequently
revised in 1966 and 1980. During this period the standard has
undergone modifications relating to grade of doors, species of timber,
etc, and the sizes were rationalized.
0.3 Keeping in view the advantages of modular co-ordination, Indian
Standards specify the dimensions of components in modular units. In
line with this, the dimensions of shutters were also specified in modular
units. However, it was repeatedly brought to the notice of the
Committee that there was sufficient demand for sizes other than
modular sizes and that the manufacturers were meeting such demands
at present. This had led to a situation where shutters satisfying the
other requirements of the standard, but not the requirements regarding
the dimensions were classified as not satisfying the requirements of the
standard. This situation also came in the way of satisfying the
consumer needs for other quality requirements by a third party
inspection system. Therefore, with a view to encouraging production of
timber shutters to the quality requirements specified in the standard,
the Committee reviewed the relevant clauses of the Indian Standards
and decided to relax the dimensional requirements in this third revision
by permitting non-modular sizes in addition to the modular sizes
specified in the standard at present. However, the relaxation has been
made only in the height and width, the thickness remaining unchanged
from the present provisions. This relaxation will be for a period of four
years from the publication of this standard and it is intended that the
manufacturers and consumers organizations can gradually switch-over
within this period to the modular sizes, which are the preferred sizes.

3
IS : 2202 (Part 2) - 1983
0.3.1 Wooden flush door shutters using particle board and hard board
for face panels are generally manufactured in the same way as the
doors with plywood face panels. This standard, therefore, covers only
the necessary requirements and provisions which are additional or
alternative to those covered in IS : 2202 (Part 1)-1983*.
0.4 A scheme of labelling environment friendly products to be known as
ECO Mark is being introduced at the instance of the Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO Mark
shall be administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the
BIS Act, 1986 as per the Resolution No. 71 dated 21 February 1991
published in the Gazette of the Government of India. For a product to be
eligible for ECO Mark, it shall also carry the Standard Mark of the BIS
besides meeting additional optional environment friendly requirements.
0.5 This edition 4.1 incorporates Amendment No. 1 (September 2000).
Side bar indicates modification of the text as the result of
incorporation of the amendments.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS : 2-1960. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard (Part 2) lays down the requirements regarding
material, grade, type, sizes, construction, finishes and tests of wooden
flush door shutters of solid core type with particle board face panels (both
veneered and unveneered) and hard-board face panels.
2. TYPES AND DESIGNATION
2.1 Solid core flush door shutters with particle board face panels may
be of the decorative type or non-decorative (paintable) type. The
designation of various types of shutters shall be based on the type of
core and the type of face panel as given in Table 1.
3. SIZES AND TOLERANCES
3.1 Sizes of the door shutters shall generally conform to the modular
sizes specified in Table 2 ( see also Fig. 1 ). Sizes other than modular
sizes, as agreed to between the manufacturer and the purchaser, may
also be permitted; however, the thickness of shutters in such cases
shall not be less than that specified against the nearest higher
modular size given in 3.2.

panels ( fourth revision ).
