FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 7/Set 1 ) (Third Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards on 25 July 1989, after the draft finalized by the Paints and Allied Products Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

This standard ( Part 7jSec 1 ) is one of a series dealing with sampling and test of paints, varnishes
and related Products.

In the preparation of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from IS0 1521-1973
‘Paints and varnishes -Determination of resistance to water - Water immersion method’
published by the International Organization for Standardization ( IS0 ). This standard
supersedes clause 23 of IS 101 : 1964 ‘Methods of test for ready mixed paints and enamels
( second revision )‘.

control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the producer. Standard marked
products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to that standard as a further safe-
guard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use of the Standard Mark may be granted
to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
