PART III SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF URINALS

Section I Slab Urinals

( Second Revision )

0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part III/Set I ) ( Second Revision ) was
adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 4 May 1979, after the
draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fitrings Sectional
Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.

0.2 This standard was first issued in 1958 and was revised in 1963 to
cover requirements for additional glazed earthenware sanitary appliances,
such as Orissa pan, laboratory sink, squatting plate, slab and stall urinals
and half-round channel. In this revision the scope of the standard has
been restricted to cover requirements for glazed fire-clay sanitary
appliances only since the glazed earthenware sanitary appliances were
outdated as well as unhygienic. The Sectional Committee has found that
only some of the sanitary appliances were being made in glazed fire-clay
and therefore decided to cover the requirements for these appliances only
in this revision. The general requirements applicable to all appliances
and specific requirements for different types of appliances have been
covered in separate parts of the standard. This standard ( Part III/Set 1)
lays down the specific requirements of slab urinals.

0.3 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-I960*. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard. I

*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( rroiscd).
