NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO/IEC 8652 : 2012 ‘Information technology - Programming languages - Ada’ issued by the International Standardization Organization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) jointly was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Data Management, Document Processing and Programming Languages Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

The standard was originally published in 1993 which was identical with ISO 8652 : 1987 ‘Programming language - Ada’. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO/IEC 8652 : 2012.

The text of ISO/IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and 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’.

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.
