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
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Fourth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Wire Ropes and Wire Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1963, revised in 1970, 1977 and 1989. The first revision was taken up to
align the standard with the corresponding 1S0 standard, 1S0 2408: 1975 Steel wire ropes for general purposes
Characteristics.
[n the second revision, published in 1977, certain changes in the list of constructions were made. In the third
revision, the construction 6 x 19 (12/6/1) with steel core (CWR) was added and the requirement of galvanizing
was modified.
The experience gained in implementation of the standard necessitated this revision and certain changes that are
necessary are incorporated in this revision.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
1S 2:1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revisec$. The number of significant places retained in
the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
