NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) ( First Revision ) which is identical with ISO 1663 : 2007 ‘Rigid cellular
plastics — Determination of water vapour transmission properties’ issued by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the
recommendation of the Thermal Insulation Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division
Council.
This standard was originally published in 1985. This revision of the standard has been taken up to
align it with ISO 1663 : 2007 by adoption under dual numbering system.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to the following International Standard for which Indian
Standard also exists. The corresponding Indian Standard which is to be substituted in its place, is
listed below, along with its degree of equivalence for the edition indicated:
ISO 1923 : 1981 Cellular plastics and IS 11239 (Part 1) : 2009 Method of test Identical
rubbers — Determination of linear for rigid cellular thermal insulation
dimensions materials: Part 1 dimensions (
)
The technical committee has reviewed the provisions of the following International Standards referred
in this adopted standard and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this
standard:
ISO 291 : 2008 Plastics — Standard atmospheres for conditioning and testing
ISO 483 : 2005 Plastics — Small enclosures for conditioning and testing using aqueous
solutions to maintain the humidity at a constant value
In reporting the result 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 ( )’.

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 are needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
of Indian Standards should ascertain that they are in possession of the latest amendments or edition by

This Indian Standard has been developed from Doc No.: CHD 27 (1534).
