FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard

( Part 4 ) ( First
Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards on 20 June 1988, after the draft
tinalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water
Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 The fabricated PVC fittings areto be used for
jointing to the PVC pipes covered in IS : 4985
1988*.

0.3.1 Part 1 of this series deals with the general

requirements applicable to all fabricated PVC
fittings, and specific requirements
of different
types of fittings are covered in separate parts of
the standard. This standard ( Part 4 ) deals with
the specific requirements for caps. This part was
first published in 1982. The present revision has
been taken up to extend the size of fittings to 630
mm in line with the sizes of pipes specified in
IS : 4985-1988.*
0.4 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- 19607. The
of significant places retained in the
number
rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.

3.1.1 Each cap fitting may also be marked with

the Standard Mark.

NOTE- The use of the Standard Mark is governed
by the provisions
of the Bureau of Indian Standards
Act 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The standard mark on products coveredby an
Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have
been produced lo comply with the requirements of that
standard under a well defined system of inspection,
testmg and quality control which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the producer.
Standard
marked products are also continuously
checked by BIS
for conformity to that standard as a further safeguard.
Details of conditions
under which a lincence for the
use of the Standard
Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers
