NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 3632-2 : 2010 ‘Spices — Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) — Part 2: Test methods’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Spices and Condiments Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1996. This revision has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 3632 - 2 : 2010, which has been technically revised.

This standard is published in two parts. Other part in this series is: Part 1 Specification

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 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.
