NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 9714-1 : 2012 ‘Orthopaedic drilling instruments — Part 1: Drill bits, taps and countersink cutters’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Orthopaedic Instruments, Implant and Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This standard was first published as IS 14239 : 1995 identical with ISO 9714-1 : 1991. The first revision of this standard has been published as IS 14239 (Part 1) to align it with the latest version of ISO 9714-1.

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’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standard, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
