Why Wooden Flush Door Shutters (Cellular, Hollow And Tubular Core Type) needs BIS certification
Wooden Flush Door Shutters (Cellular, Hollow And Tubular Core Type) falls under the Wood & Plywood Products category and is covered by IS 2191: Part 2 (2022). Manufacturers and importers must obtain the ISI mark licence from the Bureau of Indian Standards before the product can be manufactured, imported, stored or sold in India. Selling a notified product without a valid BIS licence can lead to seizure of stock, marketplace delisting and penalties under the BIS Act, 2016.

Sample testing for IS 2191: Part 2 (2022) is currently available at 9 BIS-recognised laboratories across India. Reported test charges range from ₹18K – ₹30K (excluding GST), depending on the laboratory, the number of models/varieties and the tests included in the scope. Certko can help you pick a lab that balances cost, turnaround time and location.
