NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 4757 : 1983 Cross recesses for screws
was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners
Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 1974 and subsequently revised in 1985. This second revision has
been harmonized with ISO 4757 : 1983 by adoption to make pace with the latest developments taken place
at international level.
The Committee has decided that IS 7479 : 1985 Specification for recess penetration gauges (first revision)
shall be withdrawn after publication of this standard as the requirements of IS 7479 are covered in this
standard.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain terminology and 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 in the International Standard while in Indian Standards,
the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
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). The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
