( Page 3, clause 0.4 ) — Add this new clause after clause 0.3 and renumber the subsequent clause: '0.4 A scheme for labelling environment friendly products known as ECO Mark

has been introduced at the instance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MEF), Government of India. The ECO Mark would be administered by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the BIS Act, 1986 as per the Resolutions No. 71 dated 21 February 1991 and No. 425 dated 28 October 1992 published in the Gazette of the Government of India. For a product to be eligible for marking with ECO logo, it shall also carry the Mark of BIS besides meeting additional optional environment friendly requirements. For this purpose, the Standard Mark of BIS would be a single mark being a combination of the Mark and the ECO logo. Requirements to be satisfied for a product to qualify for the BIS Standard Mark for ECO friendliness, will be inlcuded in the relevant published Indian Standards through an amendment. These requirements will be optional; manufacturing units will be free to opt for the Mark alone also. This amendment is based on the Gazette Notification No. 455 dated 13 November 1992 for paper as environment friendly products published in the Gazette of India. This amendment is, therefore, being issued to this standard to include environment friendly requirements for pulp board.'

Indian Standard SPECIFICATION FOR

PULP BOARD

( First Revision )

0 . F O R E W O R D

0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 21 April 1986, after the draft finalized by the Paper and Its Products (Excluding Packaging Materials) Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

0.2 This standard has been formulated in order to define the quality of pulp boards and to ensure the supply of proper quality of such boards to the consumer. These boards are made from 100 percent chemical pulp and are used as postcards, publicity cards, chart papers, etc. Pulp board as covered in this standard shall be of two grades, namely, Grade G for general purposes and Grade S for special purposes. Grade S shall normally be manufactured only on order as a special making.

0.3 This standard was originally published in 1968 and was based on data made available by various organizations especially the Forest Research Institute and Colleges, Dehra Dun. In this revision the requirement of burst factor is replaced by burst index in line with present practice. Further, the requirement of pH and moisture content have been introduced for Grade G.

0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements and methods of sampling and test for pulp board.

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).

6.2 Tests — From each of the packets selected from the lot ( see 6.1 ), one sheet shall be taken out at random. These sheets shall constitute the sample. The sheets selected shall first be tested for general requirements given in 4.1. One test piece shall be cut from each sheet selected for each of the characteristics mentioned in Table 1 and tested.
