Full title and description

ISO 6443:2005 — Door leaves — Method for measurement of height, width, thickness and squareness. This International Standard specifies a uniform procedure for measuring the principal linear dimensions and squareness defects of door leaves to ensure consistent dimensional assessment.

Abstract

ISO 6443:2005 applies to rectangular door leaves and to the measurable parameters of door leaves of other shapes. It specifies the method to be used to measure the dimensions of height, width and thickness, and the method for assessing defects of squareness of door leaves. The standard provides a repeatable measurement procedure intended for use in manufacturing, inspection and conformity assessment.

General information

• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 91.060.50 (Doors and windows).
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (2005).
• Number of pages: 4 pages.

Scope

Specifies the measurement methods for door leaves: prescribed reference positions and procedures for measuring height, width and thickness and for quantifying squareness defects. The scope covers all rectangular door leaves and provides guidance applicable to door leaves of other shapes where the same measurable parameters can be defined. The intent is to standardize dimensional measurement practices so results are comparable between manufacturers, testing laboratories and purchasers.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and identification of measurable parameters of a door leaf (height, width, thickness, squareness).
• Specified reference planes, measurement points and orientations for repeatable measurement.
• Methods for measuring linear dimensions (height, width, thickness) using appropriate measuring instruments.
• Procedure for assessing defects of squareness (deviation from 90°) and how to report results.
• Requirements for presentation of measurement results to support conformity assessment and quality control.

Typical use and users

Used by door and window manufacturers, quality control and inspection personnel, test laboratories, product certifiers and purchasers who need a standardized method for dimensional checks of door leaves. It is applied during production inspection, incoming inspection of components, final product verification and in dispute resolution where precise dimensional information is required.

Related standards

Associated with other ISO standards and documents developed by ISO/TC 162 (Doors and windows). Historical and related references include the earlier ISO 6443:1980 (withdrawn) and other door/window measurement and performance standards (for example neighbouring ISO 6442, 6444 and 6445 series of standards addressing related characteristics and tests). Users should consult the body of ISO/TC 162 publications for complementary methods and performance criteria.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers measurement procedures — reference positions, measurement points and techniques — for rectangular door leaves and measurable parameters of other-shaped door leaves; it does not set dimensional tolerances but standardizes how measurements are taken and reported.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Door and window manufacturers, inspection and quality-control teams, testing laboratories, certification bodies and purchasers who require standardized dimensional measurements.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 6443:2005 (Edition 2) is published and was reviewed and confirmed in 2020, and is listed as the current edition (confirmed at last systematic review). Users should check the official ISO catalogue for any later revisions after 2020.

Q: Is it part of a series?
