Chipboard screws are specially made screws for particle boards, chipboards, MDF and other engineered wood. They have coarse threads and a self-tapping tip. This helps them bite into soft wood properly. Most have a cross-recessed head so the screw sits flush or just slightly under the surface.
These screws are used in furniture, cabinets, shelves, wardrobes, cupboards basically all interior wood projects. If you use wrong screws, panels can split, joints come loose, furniture wobbles or falls apart. Not good.
In India the BIS standard IS 18508:2024 tells exactly how these screws should be. It covers dimensions, material, mechanical strength, coatings, marking and packaging. This ensures screws are strong, safe and reliable.
Since 2024 BIS certification is mandatory for chipboard screws. The government issued a Quality Control Order (QCO) to enforce this
The ISI mark acts like a quality seal. It tells buyers the screws are tested and meet Indian safety standards. Furniture makers, carpenters, retailers can rely on it
The standard mentions several important requirements:
These rules make sure screws are durable, strong, safe to use in furniture and interiors.
BIS rules apply to:
Some exceptions exist:
Even if exempt, once screws are sold in India, certification is mandatory.
The process is simple but strict:
Some manufacturers hire consultants or labs to speed up the process. But final responsibility is always on the company.
Using uncertified screws may save money at first. But broken furniture costs more. Also, it can damage your reputation if you sell furniture with failed joints
BIS QCO for chipboard screws came into effect in September 2024. Full compliance required by March 2025.
From then all screws sold in India must be BIS certified. This makes sure every chipboard screw in the market meets minimum safety, performance and durability standards
All these can cause furniture damage, accidents or fines
The BIS ISI mark as stipulated under the IS 18508:2024 is not but a mere formality. It ensures power, security and excellence.
Manufacturers and importers need to observe BIS process, label goods properly. Retailers, carpenters and furniture makers must always use certified screws. This prevents failures, accidents, additional costs.
