PART 1 PLYWOOD FACE PANELS

( Fourth Revision )

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 1 ) Fourth Revision ) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 36 June lC83, 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, 1973 and 1980. During this p’eriod the standard has undergone
modification 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 componerits in modular units. In
line with this, t+e dimensions of shutters w&e also specified in modular
units. Hqwever, it was repeatedly brought to the notice of the Com-
mittee 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 require-
ments of.the standard, but not t requirements regarding the dimensions
were classified as not satisfyi 2’ the requirements of the standard. This
situation also came in the w&y of satisfying :he 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 +pd decided to relax the
dimensional requirements in this fourth revision by permitting non-
modular sizes in addition to the modular sizer 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 pro-
vision& This relaxation will be for a period of four years from the
‘
3

‘
IS:2191(Part l)-1983

publication of this standard and,it is intended that the manufacturers and

consume& organization9 can gradually switch-over within this period to
the modular sixes, which are the preferred sixes.
0.4 Routine tests with respect to performance of flush doors are covered
in this standard: Suitable type tetts with respect to performance which
will be useful for .manufacturers in evolving proper designs of flush doors
are covered separately in IS : 4020-1967*.
0.5 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 shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2- 196Ot. The number of signi3cant 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 1 ) lays down requirements regarding types,
sixes, material, construction, workmanship and finish, and tests of
cellular and hollow core wooden flush door shutters. with face panels of
plywood or cross-band and face veneers.
2. TERlUl.NOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : kO428-
1983$ and IS : 707-19765 shall apply.
3. TYPES
9.1 Cellular or hollow core flush door. shutters may be of the decorative
type or non-decorative ( paintable ) type. The nature of construction of
these shutters shall, therefore, be specified based on the type and cons-
truction of core as given in Table 1.

4. SIZES
4.1 Sizes of the door shutters shall $ctlerally conform to the modular
sizes specified in Table 2 ( SMU/SO Fig. 1 ). Sizes other than modular
sizes, as agreed to between the mandfacturer and the pirchaser, may also
be permitted; however,; the thick&s of shutters in such cases shall nqt be
less than that specified against .the nearest higher modular size given
in 4.2.

7.1 Locks - Shutters shall be shop-prepared for taking mortice locks or
latches as may be ordered. Shop preparing thedoor, with morticed holes
for lock fixing shall be done only when desired by the purchaser. Where
the purchaser so deiires, suitable blocks of wood may be provided for
fixing the hardware. In the absence of specific requirements,. block
shall preferably correspond to the maximum size of lock covered
in IS : ,220:). 1976*.

8. WORKMANSHIP AND FRQS=

8.,l All the four edges of the door shutter shall be square. The shutter
shall be free from twist or_ warp in its plane.
8.2 Both faces of door shutter shall be ‘sanded to a smooth even texture.
If required by the purchaser, all surfaces of shutters which are .required

coat of primer as specified-in IS : 2338 ( Part 1 )-1967t. In the case of
shutters to he polished or varnished; a priming coat of suitable polish or
varnish shall be given before delivery. However, only unpainted doors
shall be subjected to the tests mentioned under 9.
8.3 Workmanship and finish of the face panels shall be in conformity

of their base to immersion in water as follows:
The door shutter shall be immersed vertically to a height
of 30 cm in water at room temperature in 27 f 2°C and relative

9.2 Knife Test - The face panel, when tested in accordance wuh.
Appendix F of IS : 1659-1979*, shall pass the test.
9.3 Adhesion Teat -,The flush door shall he tested for adhesion in
accordance with 9.3.1.
9.3.1 Two square sections, 150 mm. x 150 mm shall be cut from the
corners of the doer. These corner sections, as cut from the door, shall
be immersed in boiling water at 100°C for four hours, then dried
at.27 .f 2°C and relatiqe,#ntmidity of 65 f 5 percent for 24 hours. At
the end of the drying period the samples shall be examined for delami-
nation. Glue lines in all the four exposed edges of the plywood on both
faces of a specimen and the glue lines between the plywood faces and
the stile and rail shall be examined for delamination.
9.3.1.1 A specimen shall be considered to have pasred the test if no
delamination has occurred in the glue lines in the plywood and if no
single delamination more than 50 mm in length and more than 3 mm in
depth has occurred in the assembly glue lines between the plywood faces
and ,the stile and rail. Delamination at the corner shall be measured
continuously around the corner. Delamination at a knot, hole, pitch
pocket, worm hole, or other permissible‘ wood defects shall not be
considered in assessing the sample., A door shall be deemed to have
passed this test if both the specimens tested pass the test.
9.4 Type Tests - The manufacturer may also have the performance
test of the flush door tested by the type tests covered in IS : 4020-1967t.
The type tests shall only apply to the specific design of the flush door
and need not be applied as routine tests.

10. SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR CONFORMITY

10.1 The sampling and criteria for conformity for flush door shutters
shall be as.given in Appendix B.

11. MARKING

11.1 Each shutter should be legibly and indelibly marked on any of its
edges with the following information:
a)- Name of the manufacturer or trade-mark, if any;
b) Abbreviation indicating the nature of construction of the shutter
( set 3.1 );
