IS 1997 : 2008 /ISO 385 : 2005 Laboratory Glassware - Burettes

National Foreword

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 385 : 2005 - Laboratory glassware -Burettes - issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by theBureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Glass, Glassware and LaboratorywareSectional Committee and approval of the Chemical Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1961 and then subsequently revised in 1967 and 1982. Duringthis revision, the Committee felt that it would be more convenient to prepare this standard by adoptionof ISO 385 : 2005 on dual number basis.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard withoutdeviations. 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 shouldbe read as ?Indian Standard?.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the currentpractice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.-
