    0.1 This Indian

    Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution

    quails and guinea fowls, and passerine
    and
    psittacine birds like munias, bulbuls, budgerigars,
    parrots, love birds and
    wearer birds.
    These birds are used for various purposes, such as pets,
    exhibits, game and food.
    In view of the increasing demand for these birds,
    they are frequently required to be transported.
    As transport requirements
    of small and medium
    sized birds are similar, a common code is being
    prescribed for their transport.
    0.3 In the preparation
    of this code, due consideration
    has been given to
    the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
    However, it is subject to
    the restrictions imposed under this Act, wherever applicable.
    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
    The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
