Bidi isa common man'ssmoke. There beinggreatvariationin the different brandsof bidis, it isnecessaryto lay down certainqualitycriteria, thebroadobjective of which will beto enable theconsumersto get the standard productand to help in thepromotion ofthe exportofbtdis. This standard was first published in 1961. Subsequently, the first revision was issued in 1970 incorporating cylindrical bidis, tolerances on declared valuesoflength and mass of1000bidis 10 ensure uniformity in productionandprocedurefor identificationofTendu and Ashltr!leaves. Therequirementsfor arsenicand lead were deleted for theyincreasethe costof quality control without any proportionate utility. In the second revision issuedin 1974,theproportionof wrapperwas increased to 5S± 5percent. Requirement for chloride content deleted. A more practical test for buringqualitywas prescribedin thisrevision. Thethird revision isbeingissued updatingvariousrequirements,bring thestandardin line with theexisting manufacturingand tradepractices. For the purpose ofdecidingwhethera particularrequirement ofthisstandardiscompliedwith, thefinal value,observedor calculated, expressingtheresultofa testor analysis,shallbe rounded off in accordance with IS 2: 1960 'Rules for roundingoffnumericalvalues(revised)'. The numberofsignificantplacesretained in the rounded off value should be thesame asthat ofthe specifiedvaluein thisstandard.
