FOREWORD

This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized bythe Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the CivilEngineering Division Council.

This standard has been prepared with a view to facilitate the manufacturing and use of stainlesssteel sinks for domestic purposes. Kitchen sinks of glazed fire clay type and vitreous enamelledsteel are covered in IS 771 ( Part 2 ) : 1985 'Specification for glazed fire clay sanitary appliances:Part 2 Specific requirements of kitchen and laboratory sinks ( third revision)' and IS 8718: 1978­'Specification for vitreous enamelled steel kitchen sinks' respectively.

Informations whether set-on or inset sink, the type ( 4), with or without tap hole(s) ( 7.5 ), withor witbou! overflow hole ( 7.6 ) and the surface finish required ( 8) shall be provided by thepurchaser while placing order.

In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from BS 1244 ( Part 2 ): 1988"Metal sinks for domestic purposes: Part 2 Specification far set-on and inset sinks' issued by theBritish Standard s Institution.

The composition of the technical committees responsible for the formulation of this standard isgiven in Annex A

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, thefinal value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded offin accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised I'. The numberof significant places retained JD the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specifiedvalue in this standard.
