Introduction
BIS Certification for Veneered Particle Boards under IS 3097:2006 ensures that these boards meet the prescribed standards of quality, strength, and surface finish for use in furniture, paneling, and interior decoration. This standard is an Indian Standard and has been published by the Bureau of Indian Standards and establishes the requirements based on the material used for bonding and its specifications in order to provide durability, size, and wear and tear resistance. BIS Certification also provides an assurance to the customer for the safety and quality of the product and its suitability for use in the home and office environments.
What is IS 3097:2006?
IS 3097:2006 Ven Glued Particle boards Requirements The Indian Standard specifies the requirements for veneered particle boards. The basic criteria with regard to raw material, construction, surface veneer, quality of adhesive, and other performance characteristics such as strength, moisture resistance, and stability of the board are specified in this standard. This standard provides a guarantee that the veneered particle board is sufficient with respect to its strength, safety, and performance when utilized in preparing furniture, wall surfaces, partitioning, and internal fittings.
Key Points:
- IS 3097:2006 covers the requirements for veneered particle boards issued by Bureau of Indian Standards.
- It defines the material, veneer quality, and bonding requirements for its manufacturing.
- The physical and mechanical properties strength, density, and moisture resistance are defined by the standard.
- It lays down the testing methods through which the performance and durability of the boards are tested.
- Compliance ensures that the boards are appropriate for furniture, paneling, and interior use with consistent quality.
Why is BIS Certification Mandatory
BIS Certification is a necessity to ensure veneered particle boards, either manufactured in India or for sale in India, conform to the quality, safety, and performance norms prescribed in IS 3097:2006.

BIS certification makes it a necessity to use quality material and thus avoids the use of substandard material by abiding by the Indian Standards norms. BIS Certification also provides a warranty to consumers for using a safe and reliable material.
Key Reasons:
- It provides assurance for the boards to comply with the quality and performance requirements set under the standard IS 3097:200
- It prevents the sale as well as use of low-quality or unsafe construction materials
- Guarantees the strength, durability, and water-resistant qualities of the board.
- They help safeguard consumers and construction companies by providing quality.
- Permits the manufacturer to utilize the “ISI Mark,” which establishes that the manufacturer complies with Indian regulatory requirements.
