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 SI:andard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the
draft finalized by the Alloy Steels and Special Steels Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1969 and revised in 1978. The following major modifications have
been incorporated in this revision.

A survey of overseas standards available for stainless steel utensi!s showed that only stainless steel con-
forming to AISI 300 grade series ( 18/8 type ) has been prescribed for manufacture of utensils. Metal-
lurgical Engineering Division Council ( MTDC ) of BIS, in its recent meeting had examined the issue
and decided that only stainless steel of 18/8 type be permitted for household utensils. Accordingly only
two grades have been covered.

While finalizing revision of this Indian Standard it was decided by the committee that the test data for
low nickel manganese, copper grades of stainless steels and the ferritic stainless steels will be examined
by the committee as and when available for incorporation in the Indian Standard.

Steel designations presently specified were posing difficulty in implementation of the standards on stain-
less steels. It has therefore been felt to specify grade designation aligned with AISI system of designation
for ease of rememberance and better implementation.
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 IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. T-he number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also reviewed
periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that no changes are
needed; if the review indicates that changes arc needed, it is taken up for revision. Users of Indian Standards
