Practical Notes
This standard has been officially withdrawn by BIS. While its dimensions can serve as a historical or design reference, current manufacturing practices are dictated by specific furniture designs, market trends, and international standards rather than this code.
The standard only covers dimensions. For material quality and silvering of mirrors, IS 3438 should be referred to.
