Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Security Equipment Sectional Committee had been approved by the Heavy
Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
Vault (strong room) doors are used mainly in banking industry to· protect the contents of vault
( strong rooms) from burglarious attack and also against damage to valuables from fire. These
doors may also be used by other organizations like financial institutions, commercial, industrial,
defence and mercantile organizations etc.
Earlier the vault doors and strong room doors were considered to be two different items.
Accordingly IS 11188: 1987 'Vault room doors' was published covering requirements of vault
doors and IS 7152 : 1974 'Strong room doors' covered the requirements of strong room doors.
Under the present circumstances, the vault doors and strong room doors are. considered to be
synonymous. Hence during the revision of IS 11188, its scope has been modified to cover the
requirements of vault (strong room) doors. The scope of this standard (IS 7152) has
therefore been modified to cover the requirements of only the book room doors.
This standard was first published in 1974 and is being revised to modify the requirements regard-
ing classification of doors. According to this standard, the book room doors though similar to
vault (strong room) doors, have a lesser degree of protection against theft in comparison to
vault ( strong room) doors but have a comparatively higher degree of protection against fire
hazard. Inthis revision, testing of doors similar to that specified for vault ( strong room) doors
has also been specified.
In reporting the results of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final
value, observed or calculated is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960
'Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )'.
