Parliament hinges are a particular kind of hinge that is frequently employed in scenarios where doors must swing clear of an opposing wall, such as in huge openings or rooms with limited space. They are also referred to as projection hinges or broad throw hinges. When the door is fully opened, it may swing open to 180 degrees or more, thanks to the extended knuckle or unique design of these hinges, which also allow the door to sit flat against the wall. By increasing the distance between the door and the frame, this design facilitates quicker access through the entryway and maximizes available space. They are useful in both residential and business contexts, particularly in places where optimizing the clearance of the entryway is crucial, such as hallways and corridors.
Parliament hinges are significant because they may be used to creatively solve space-related problems, enable architectural flexibility, improve accessibility, and enhance both the practical and aesthetic elements of building and restoration projects.
Under IS 362: 1991, all parliament hinges are covered by the required ISI Certification Scheme.
The requirements for materials, production techniques, finishing touches, labeling, and packaging are described in this standard.
Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
