    NOTE - In case any of the test results for compressive


    strength exceed the upper limit of the class, the same shall
    be limited to upper limit of the class for the purpose of
    averaging.

    8. MARKING

    6.1.1 The compressive


    strength of any individual
    brick shall not fall below the minimum
    average
    compressive strength specified for the corresponding
    class of brick by more than 20 percent.

    the manufacturers
    identification
    provided
    ) with
    mark or initials.

    laid down in IS : 3495
    ( Part 2 )-19767 after immersion
    in water for 24

    of this mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
    conveys the assurance that they have been produced to
    comply with the requirements of that standard under a
    well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated
    by the producer, has the further safeguard that the products
    as actually marketed are also continuously checked by BIS
    for conformity to that standard. Details of conditions under
    which a licence for the use of the Standard Mark may be
    granted to manufacturers or producers,
    may be obtained

    by mass
    shall not be more than 15 percent.
