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 (Fifth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1957. The first, second, third and fourth revisions were issued in 1960, 1969,
1971 and 1984 respectively. In this revision, flushing cisterns of 6/3 Iitres capacity have been included. Other
changes keeping in view the current manufacturing practices in the country have been made.
Two years from the date of publication of the standard, single flush cistern will be withdrawn from the scope of
this standard.
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 oft value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
