NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 2169 : 1981 'Fruits and vegetables - Physical conditions in cold stores - Definitions and measurement' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Processed Fruits and Vegetable Products Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1974. The first revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 2169 : 1989.

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 Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
