IS 4621:1975 specifies requirements for indicating bolts used for these applications, including requirements related to materials, dimensions, workmanship, finish, marking and packing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1911\">For manufacturers supplying indicating bolts in India, compliance with the applicable BIS requirements is important. IS 4621:1975 is included under <strong data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1787\">Scheme-I of the BIS certification system<\/strong> and is covered under the <strong data-start=\"1813\"

data-end=\"1942\">About Indicating Bolts<\/h1>\n<p data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"2079\">An indicating bolt is a door-bolting mechanism designed to provide privacy while simultaneously showing the occupancy status of a room.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2184\">The mechanism normally includes an indicator that changes its visible status when the bolt is operated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2186\" data-end=\"2198\">For example:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2235\"><strong data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2235\">VACANT \u2192 Door available for use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p
