information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the

FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Revised) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 3 March 1966, after the
draft finalized by the Engineering Standards Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1950 specifying atmospheric conditions for testing. This revision has been
undertaken to bring this standard in line with the latest work done by the Co-ordinating Committee on Atmospheric Conditions for Testing (ATCO) of ISO in collaboration with IEC.
0.3 The properties of materials and behaviour of equipment under test are influenced by atmospheric conditions,
such as the temperature, the relative humidity and the pressure of the ambient air at the time of the test. For
comparison of test results obtained by different test laboratories/testing centres, it becomes necessary to specify
standard atmospheric conditions and conditioning procedures, under which the test should be carried out or at
which specimen should be conditioned before the test.
0.4 The principal considerations that would justify the adoption of a set of conditions may be enumerated in short
as follows:

a)
Temperature and humidity conditions specified should be suited to a majority of tests requiring standard
atmospheric conditions;
b) Equipment required to maintain the standard conditions should be economical to install and easy to
maintain; and
c) The standard conditions should be within the comfort zone for workers.
0.5 Although the necessity for having an internationally agreed set of standard atmospheric conditions for test is
realized, the wide divergence of the atmospheric conditions in the temperate and tropical or sub-tropical regions
indicates that the same test conditions may not be suitable for all the zones. This aspect was examined in great
detail by the several technical committees of ISO and IEC, and the Co-ordinating Committee on Atmospheric
Conditions for Testing (ATCO) of ISO, in collaboration with IEC, has recommended the following three sets of
standard atmospheric conditions from which the individual countries could choose whichever is most suitable to
them:
a) 20C with 65 percent relative humidity
b) 23C with 50 percent relative humidity
c) 27C with 65 percent relative humidity
The atmosphere (c) above is intended for tropical and sub-tropical zones and this was accepted at the international
level as a result of continued efforts by India. This atmosphere has now been adopted for India. The values of
temperature and relative humidity in (c) are based on an analysis of the weather conditions of several important
centres of India spread over a long period.

*
Conditions for drying a material free from moisture and other solvents where a temperature of the order
of the boiling point of the solvent and tolerances depending on the effect of temperature on the material
shall have to be specified.
b) Certain chemical and physical constants, such as specific gravity, refractive index and vapour pressure,
may need be specified at temperatures other than the temperature of 27C, for reasons such as nonavailability of data and the desirability (from the technical point of view) of using a temperature other
than the standard. In cases of non-availability of data, efforts should be made as far as possible to specify
the constants on the basis of these standard conditions as the data become available, exceptional conditions
being adopted in the interim period.
c) Certain determinations, such as those of viscosity of liquids, plasticity of solids and density of materials,
require much finer limits of tolerance than those required by this standard. In all such cases, suitable
limits of tolerance shall be specified, but as far as possible the basic temperature should be retained at the
standard value.
d) Certain tests of specialized character which are intended to establish suitability of goods, materials,
equipment, etc, for service under severe conditions, such as climatic tests on electrical and electronic
components and equipments.
0.10 The composition of the Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard as given in Annex A.
0.11 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*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.
