in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of

FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 30 June 1989, after the
draft finalized by the Paper and Its Products ( Excluding Packaging Materials ) Sectional Com-
mittee had been approved by the Chemical Division Council.

The Indian standard on one-time carbon paper, namely, IS 9055 : 1979 ‘Specification for one-time
carbon paper’ has already been published. Since special quality of base paper is required for one-
time carbon papers, it was felt necessary to formulate a standard for this type of paper which is
now being manufactured in the country.

It is felt that this standard will help the manufacturers to produce good quality base paper and
ensure supply of proper quality one-time carbon paper to the consumer.

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 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)‘. The
number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the
specified value in this standard.

 Standard Mark

The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard 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 pro-
ducer. Standard marked products are also continuously checked by BIS for conformity to
that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the use
of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from
the Bureau of Indian Standards.

No. 71 dated 21 February 1991 and No. 425 dated 28 October 1992 published in

with EC0 logo, it shall also carry the @‘J 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 @j Mark and the EC0

Mark for EC0 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 E 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 base paper for one-time carbon paper’.
