Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee, MTD 4 and Steel Sheets Subcommittee, MTD 4 : 3

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Second Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on
20 March 1990, after the draft finalized by the Wrought Steel Products Sectional Committee had
been approved by the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1970. As a result of experience gained during the years,
this was first revised in 1973. The present revision has been necessitated to include extra high
tensile box strappings.

This standard is based on the manufacturing and trade practices followed in the country in this
field.

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.

Standrrd Mark

The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Zndian Standards
Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark on products
covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with
the requirements of that standard under a well defined system of inspection, testing and quality
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.
