New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by the Paper Based Packaging Materials Sectional Committee, had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1968 with a view to eliminate ambiguity and confusion from different interpretations of terms used in paper trade and industry and establishing a generally recognized usage. The first revision of this standard was brought out in 1986 to bring the standard in line with ISO 4046 : 1978 ‘Paper, board, pulp and related terms - Vocabulary’ published by the International Organization for Standardization so as to include the terms used worldwide by the industry. In second revision more terms have been added to this standard to make it more exhaustive and in line with the existing trade practices.

ISO 4046 has now been published in series which comprise of 5 parts. To follow the uniform practices globally, the committee decided to revise this standard by adopting latest version of ISO 4046 (Part 1 to 5) series of standards on dual number basis. Owing to adoption of all five parts of ISO 4046, this standard is also being revised in series of five parts. The title of standard has also been aligned with ISO 4046 series.
