PART I GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

(Second Revision)
o. FOR E W 0 R D
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part I ) (Second Revision) was adopted by the
Indian Standards Institution on 4 May 1979, after the draft finalized by
the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had
been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1958 and was revised in 1963 to
cover requirements for additional glazed earthenware sanitary appliances,
such as orissa pan, laboratory sink, squatting plate, slab and stall urinal
and half-round channel. In this revision the scope of the standard has
been restricted to cover requirements for glazed fire-clay sanitary
appliances only since the glazed earthenware sanitary appliances were
outdated as well as unhygenic. The Sectional Committee has found that
only some of the sanitary appliances were being made in glazed fire-clay
and therefore decided to cover the requirements for these appliances only
in this revision. The general requirements applicable to all appliances
and specific requirements for different appliances have been covered in
separate parts of the standard. This standard ( Part I ) deals with the
general requirements of all glazed fire-clay sanitary appliances.
0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standar4 is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express-
ing the result of a telt or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2·1960·. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value ahopld be the same u that of the specified value in
.this standard.
