This standard was first published in 1963. Based on the experience gained inthis field, itwas revised in 1991. Permissible defects indifferent grades oftimber for cooling towers were alsorationalized and the standard was brought inuniformity with the style of other standards ongrading oftimber. Inthis revision arational approach has been made with respect to permitted defects. For the purpose of deciding whether aparticular requirement ofthis standard iscomplied with, the final value, observed orcalculated, expressingtheresultofatestoranalysis,shallberoundedoffinaccordance withIS2:1960 ‘Rules forrounding offnumerical values (revised)’. Thenumber ofsignificant places retained intherounded off value should be the same asthat ofthe specified value inthis standard.
