Marking a significant regulatory achievement, Blum, the global leader in furniture fittings, officially received the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) License Certification IS 18297:2023 for its cabinet hinges.

Blum’s hinge systems were already trusted worldwide for its industry-leading quality standards, but now they come with the additional approval of India’s benchmark certification, assuring their compliance with Indian guidelines.

The Austrian brand’s award-winning hinges already go through some of the toughest internal and external testing, making them in line with international standards and guidelines.

One of their landmark testing cycles is the opening and closing cycles that go up to 200,000 per hinge, proving their durability and quality for everyday use. The use of the BIS license is a testament to this quality.

Blum hinges undergo a series of motion and load tests, including:

•        Durability with additional 5-6 kg, to determine limit values for the hinge

•        Dynamic load test with an additional vertical load of 20 kg

•        Horizontal load test to ensure the hinges can withstand misuse

•        Corrosion test based on DIN EN ISO 9227 and DIN EN ISO 6270-2

•        30-kg static load test, simulating someone leaning on the door of a base cabinet at a 45° opening angle

•        A horizontal 70 N load test to check adverse impact of unintentional or excessive opening of doors.

Blum India provides lift, hinge, pull-out, pocket systems and motion technologies, supported by assembly devices and digital services, for kitchen cabinetry and wardrobes.

The brand continuously strives to enhance the quality by improving processes and aims to inspire customers and partners with its approach to performance, innovation, and quality while striving to move forward together.
