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

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) 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 originally issued as IS 3536E : 1966 in accordance with the simplified emergency procedures
to meet the urgent needs of the country, as an alternative to IS 103 : 1962. Later the emergency character of the
standard was removed and was published as IS 3536 : 1966. In the meantime IS 103 : 1962 has been withdrawn
as IS 3536 : 1966 was found to be appropriate, which used indigenous raw material very judiciously.

Due to technological advancements made during the last few decades, a need was felt to revise this standard.
In this revised version while requirement for composition has been simplified, a new clause of lead restriction
has been included. The optional requirements of spreading capacity and spreading time have been dropped,
while requirements for scratch hardness and water content have been included in this revision.

The composition of technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex D.

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.
