Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Paints ( Other than Industrial Paints ) and Allied Products Sectional Committee had been approved by
the Chemical Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1962 amalgamating IS 107 : 1952 Ready mixed paint, brushing, red
oxide-zinc chrome, priming and IS 108 : 1952 Ready mixed paint, spraying, red oxide-zinc chrome,
priming. In the first revision in 1979 requirements for chromic anhydride and zinc oxide content in
the zinc chrome content had been included. The optional requirements for spreading capacity and
spreading time had been dropped. This revision has been taken up to completely align it with Defence
Specification J-347-13, Paint, RFU, Priming, Red oxide of iron, zinc chromate, universal, synthetic,
brushing/spraying, issued by Ministry of Defence, by quantifying the values of wet opacity, gloss,
weight per 10 litres, etc.
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 ofI 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.

Standard Mark
The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, 2986 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 con-
formity to that standard as a further safeguard. 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.
