Raw Materials for Paint, Varnishes and Related Products Sectional Committee, CHD 21

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Raw Materials for Paints, Varnishes and Related Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Chemical Division Council
This standard was first issued in 1952 and was based largely on the interim coordinated draft, compiled with the
assistance of representatives of manufacturers and of various departments and authorities of the Government of
India, by the coordinating subcommittee of the no.5 standing committee on specifications for paints and allied
stores of the General Headquarters, India (now Army Headquarters). In first revision, important changes in the
method of test for determination of leafing value were incorporated. Besides, a number of other minor changes
indicated through the experience of those making use of the standard were introduced. Opportunity, while revising,
were also taken to substitute metric values for fps ones wherever existing in the original standard.
Raw material for paint products may contain lead and other heavy and toxic metals either because of use as
catalyst or use of heavy metal other than lead based compounds in manufacturing as additives for improving
performance/stability of product. Taking cognizance of the fact that lead and toxic heavy metal exposure to
human being, particularly to children in residential premises is injurious to health and having adverse impact on
human health and safety, the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard has felt the need to introduce
restriction of lead and toxic heavy metal in all paint raw material product standards. Revision of this standard
has been taken up with a view to incorporate the maximum permissible limit of lead and heavy metal restriction
clause in this standard. Therefore, in this revision, lead restriction up to a maximum permissible limit of 90 ppm
and toxic heavy metals restriction as 0.1 percent maximum has been prescribed to avoid hazardous impact of
lead and toxic heavy metal exposure and consequent adverse impact on environment and human health. Further,
majority of consumers are not aware of the consequences of lead and other heavy metal toxicity and its long-term
implications to human health. Therefore, in this revision, along with lead and toxic heavy metal restriction, a
suitable cautionary notice has been included in the marking clause.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex F.
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.
