Scope : a) To formulate Indian standards for terminology, method of sampling and tests, code of practice and specification for raw materials for paints and coatings, varnishes and related products including application of nanotechnology in paint raw materials. b) To coordinate with work of ISO/TC 35 & ISO/TC 256
Liaison :

ISO/TC 256 - Pigments, dyestuffs and extenders - Participating (P)
ISO TC 256/WG 2 - Nanotechnological properties of pigments and extenders
ISO TC 256/WG 3 - General test methods for colorants and extenders
ISO TC 256/WG 7 - Functional pigments and extenders
ISO TC 256/WG 8 - Colorants and extenders for coating materials, plastics, paper and printing inks
