Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
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
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD

This Jrdian Standard was adcIted by the Eurcau of Jndifn Stsndards on 25 May 1990, after the
draft finalized by the Electroplating Chemicals Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Chemical Division Council.

Sodium gluconate is the sodium salt of gluconic acid otherwise called 1:2: 3 : 4: 5 Pentahydroxy
caproic acid. It is used in the processing of foods and pharmaceuticals, as paint stripper and
aluminium deoxider, bottle washing preparations. However, this standard covers the salt which
is largely used as a complexant ingredient of plating baths, pickling and alkaline cleaning solutions
for metal cleaners and rust removal.

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
jn 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 regard.
