FOREWORD

SUPPLIED BY BOOK SUPPLY BUREAU TO L&T LIMIED ECC DIVISION

This Indian Standard ( Fourth Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the

UDYOG VIHAR GURGAON FOR INTERNAL USE AT THIS LOCATION ONLY

draft finalized by the Builders Hardware Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil
Engineering Division Council.
Automatic door closers are being increasingly used at present in buildings. They are particularly
needed in air-conditioned buildings, restaurants, hospitals and other public buildings where
doors are frequently used and keeping them in closed position after usage is considered essential
to reduce outside noise, to maintain inside temperature condition and privacy.
Door closers are made in several designs and types; some are made to be fixed in concealed
positions while others are made to function in exposed positions; some work only on spring action
while others require hydraulic check to arrest motion/speed m closing the door and to avert
banging. This standard covers the hydraulic door closers of exposed type which are being widely
used in the country and lays down the requirements for their manufacture and performance.
This Standard was first published in 1966 and subsequently revised in 1970, 1975 and 1986. The
present revision has been taken up with a view to incorporating the modifications found necessary
as a result of experience gained in the use of this standard. The major changes in the revision
include:
i) Tubular type door closer and requirements thereof,
ii) Modification of endurance test procedure, and
iii) Method of test for checking the performance of the door closer at -10C and 50C.
Technical Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given at Annex C.
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 he rounded
off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). The number
of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
