BIS ISI Mark Certification for Rim Latches IS 1019:1974

Rim latches are widely used in residential, commercial, and institutional doors to provide basic mechanical locking and security. These hardware devices are surface-mounted and commonly used where internal locking is required. To ensure uniformity in quality, safety, and performance, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) mandates ISI mark certification for rim latches under IS 1019:1974.

This article provides a complete guide to BIS certification for rim latches, explains IS 1019:1974 requirements, and shows how Standphill India can help you achieve full compliance with ease.
