IS 1060 : Part 6 : Sec 2 : 2024/ISO 2758 : 2014 Methods of Sampling and Test for Paper and Allied Products - Part 6 Methods of Test for Paper - Section 2 Determination of Bursting Strength of Paper
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 6/Sec 2) (First Revision) which is identical to ISO 2758 : 2014 'Paper - Determination of bursting strength' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Paper and Its Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.
This test method was originally included in IS 1060 (Part 1) and published in 1956 and subsequently revised in 1966. During the formulation and revision of this test method due weightage was given to the then existing International Standards.
Considering the benefits of aligning standards with that of international best practices, in 2014, the Committee decided to revise this standard by identical adoption of ISO 2758 : 2001, 'Paper - Determination of bursting strength' under dual numbering.
ISO has published relevant test method standards under the three broad based titles namely 'Paper, board and pulps', 'Paper and board' and 'Pulps'. The three already published Indian Standards namely IS 1060 (Parts 1, 2 and 3) 'Methods of sampling and test for paper and allied products' and IS 6213 series of standards published for 'Methods of test for pulps' were widely used and known to all concerned. Therefore, to maintain consistency with the prevailing international practices and also to facilitate search of the relevant test methods instantly, all the adopted standards are published under the following two series:
IS 1060 series on 'Methods of sampling and test for paper and allied products'
(Part 4) Methods of test for paper, board and pulp
(Part 5) Methods of test for paper and board
(Part 6) Methods of test for paper
(Part 7) Methods of test for board
IS 6213 series for 'Methods of test for pulps'.
Considering that 2014 version of this standard was identical adoption of ISO 2758 : 2001, the Committee decided to further revise this standard by aligning it with ISO 2758 : 2014, under dual numbering. During this revision, the precision data has been included along with other minor changes.
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
