How to Get BIS Certification for Parliament Hinges in India

A parliament hinge helps a door open fully and stay clear of the frame. People use it in homes, offices and shops. Because the door depends on it every day, a weak hinge soon causes trouble. The door sags, sticks or comes loose. These hinges are made of brass, mild steel or aluminium. India has a quality rule for them. It is called IS 362:1991 and it is made by the Bureau of Indian Standards, also called BIS. The rule tells makers which material to use, what size to follow and how the hinge should be finished, marked and packed. BIS certification for parliament hinges is a must in India. A maker or importer cannot sell these hinges without a BIS licence and the ISI Mark. Selling without it can lead to fines and loss of stock. What does BIS check? BIS tests the metal, the size, the finish and how freely the hinge opens and closes. For aluminium hinges, it also checks the protective coating on the surface. The tests are done in a lab approved by BIS. This is how a maker gets the licence: Step 1: Collect company, factory and product papers. Step 2: Apply online and pay the fees. Step 3: A BIS officer visits the factory. Step 4: Samples are tested in a lab approved by BIS. Step 5: BIS checks everything and gives the license. For Indian makers, it usually takes about 30 to 45 days if the papers are ready. Papers you may need: Business registration proof, factory address proof, machine list, product details and details of your testing tools. Foreign makers also need an Indian agent in India. Common mistakes: Wrong or old papers, a metal that does not match the standard, and samples that are not made in regular production.
