Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This revision has been taken up in order to bring out the standard in the latest style and format of the Indian Standards. While reviewing this standard along with other Indian Standards on the same subject, the committee is of the opinion that IS 525 : 1968 “Specification for Varnish, Finishing, Exterior and General Purpose”, IS 337 : 1975 “ Specification for Varnish, Finishing, Interior”, IS 198 : 1978 “ Specification for Varnish Gold size” and this standard have almost similar requirements and applications. Therefore, the committee recommended that it is prudent to merge the scopes of all four standards into one single standard. Accordingly, the scope, title, and requirements of this standard have been modified in order to encompass scopes of other standards on the same subject.
2 Some of the key changes are as follows: a) The maximum limit for lead has been specified considering its adverse impact on human health. b) The corresponding parts of IS 101 has been referred for the test methods procedure as earlier referred test method IS 197 has been withdrawn. c) A suitable precautionary note has been added in the marking clause in order to prevent unforeseen events. d) References of Indian Standards have been updated wherever required.
