FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of lndian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Plastics Containers Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.

Subsequent to the publication of IS 8190 ( Part 1 ) : 1988 ‘Rcquiremert for packing of pesticides : Part 1 Solid pesticides ( second revision )‘, the requirements of packaging of solid pesticides have been covered in details for both retail packs (up to 1 000 g) and bulk packaging.

In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated, is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised 1’.
