This standard lays down the specifications for materials, dimensions, manufacturing practices, and finishing requirements for wooden wardrobes of both adjustable and non-adjustable types. It is primarily used to ensure quality control, standard sizing, and durability in furniture manufacturing and institutional procurement.
wooden wardrobes (Adjustable and non-adjustable type) - Specification
Quick Reference Values
standard overall depth500 mm or 600 mm
standard overall height1800 mm, 1950 mm or 2100 mm
dimensional tolerance± 5 mm
timber moisture contentAs per IS 287 for the specified zone
Practical Notes
Ensure the moisture content of the timber conforms strictly to IS 287 for the specific climatic zone to prevent warping and termite attack.
Hardware components such as hinges and locks should be verified against their respective IS codes (e.g., IS 204 for hinges) as they typically fail before the main wooden structure.
When procuring for mass housing or hostels, strictly check dimensional tolerances to ensure modular fit.
