FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finanzed by the Automotive
Electrical Equipments and Instruments Sectional Committee had been approved by the Transport Engineering
Division CounciL
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.
