Upholstered composites used for non-domestic furniture refer to materials and constructions used in the manufacturing of upholstered furniture intended for commercial, institutional, or public spaces, rather than residential or domestic use.
These composites typically consist of various layers and components designed to meet specific requirements for non-domestic furniture, such as durability, fire resistance, ease of maintenance, and compliance with relevant safety and performance standards.
The BIS is the national standard body of India that operates a product certification scheme for various products, including furniture and related materials. The certification scheme is known as the BIS Certification Mark scheme, and it is voluntary for most products, except for those covered under mandatory certification orders.
While there is no specific mandatory certification order for upholstered composites used in non-domestic furniture, several related standards and certification schemes may be applicable, depending on the product’s intended use and the materials used in its construction.
Some relevant Indian Standards and certification schemes that may apply to upholstered composites used in non-domestic furniture include:
- IS 5509:2000 – Specification for Polyurethane Foam for Upholstered Furniture
- IS 7888:2001 – Specification for Polyurethane Foam Mattresses (Flexible Cellular)
- IS 15483:2004 – Upholstered Furniture – Safety Requirements
- IS 15700:2005 – Specification for Fire Retardant Upholstered Furniture
Manufacturers or importers of upholstered composites used in non-domestic furniture may voluntarily seek BIS certification to demonstrate compliance with relevant Indian Standards and enhance product credibility and marketability. The certification process typically involves product testing, factory audits, and ongoing surveillance by BIS.
It is important to note that even if BIS certification is not mandatory for a particular product, compliance with relevant Indian Standards and safety requirements may still be necessary, especially in sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, or public spaces, where stringent safety and performance standards are often imposed.
