BIS-Certified Hardware: How Hettich India Leads the Furniture Fittings Industry

In a world where design meets durability, Hettich India continues to raise the bar. With its Onsys Hinges and KA Ball Bearing Drawer Runners receiving the coveted BIS ( Bureau of Indian Standards) Certification, Hettich reaffirms its commitment to excellence, quality, and trust. 

But what does this really mean for Indian homeowners, architects, and designers? Let’s unpack it. 

What Is BIS Certification and Why Does It Matter? 

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national authority for product certification in India. When a particular product is BIS certified, it isn’t just a badge. It’s a guarantee that the product meets strict benchmarks of quality, safety, and reliability as set by the Government of India.

For furniture fittings, which often go unseen but are critical to a home’s functionality, safety, and appeal, this certification becomes all the more important. A BIS-certified hinge or drawer runner ensures peace of mind. After all, it’s tested, proven, and built to last. 

Why BIS Certification Matters for Furniture Fittings

Let’s be honest, great interiors are more than skin deep. Whether you’re designing a sleek urban kitchen, a modular walk-in wardrobe, or custom cabinetry, the real magic lies in precision-engineered furniture hardware. 

Here’s how BIS Certified Furniture Fittings from Hettich stand out: 

• 

  Certified Safety: Products undergo rigorous mechanical and safety testing, ensuring no unexpected failures or design flaws. 

• 

  Performance You Can Trust - Always: From push-to-open, smooth drawer runners to reliable hinges, every certified product guarantees consistency in use. 

• 

  Compliance with Indian Standards: Perfectly suited for Indian homes and climatic conditions. 

• 

  A Mark of Authenticity: BIS is government-backed, making it a stamp of true quality. 

Setting the Industry Benchmark: Hettich’s Certified Products
Hettich’s Onsys Hinges and KA Ball Bearing Drawer Runners are the first in their portfolio to earn this prestigious recognition. These aren’t just everyday regular fittings, they are integral to how furniture performs over time. 

“It is a matter of great pride to have received BIS Certification for two of our core products," said Mr. Andre Eckholt, Managing Director, Hettich India. "With this certification, we continue to set industry benchmarks, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to quality and compliance.” 

This certification and recognition arrives after an extensive audit and testing procedure, affirming that both the products and the manufacturing facilities meet the highest standards. 

It is not just a milestone for Hettich, but a statement of leadership for the entire Indian fittings industry.

The Hettich Promise: Certified Furniture Hardware You Can Rely On

For designers and homeowners alike, choosing certified furniture hardware means choosing a product that delivers (day in and day out). Whether it's the kitchen you cook in, the wardrobe you open every day, or the drawers you rely on for storage, hardware matters. Always.
