NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 2190 : 2016 ‘Granulated cork — Determination of moisture content’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Gasket and Packing Sectional Committee and approval of Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and 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, in the International Standards, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
