Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 7971-3 : 2019 ‘Cereals - Determination of bulk density, called mass per hectolitre - Part 3: Routine method’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Foodgrains, Allied Products and Other Agricultural Produce Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1967 and then revised subsequently in 2002 and 2018. In 2002, the standard was revised to align it with ISO 7971-2 : 1995 ‘Cereals - Determination of bulk density, called mass per hectolitre - Part 2: Routine method’ under dual numbering system. Second revision was undertaken to align the standard with ISO 7971-3 : 2009 ‘Cereals - Determination of bulk density, called mass per hectolitre - Part 3: Routine method’ which had replaced ISO 7971-2 : 1995 after incorporation of technical changes. This revision (third) has been brought out to align the standard with the latest version of ISO 7971-3 : 2019.
