This standard was first published in 1961, subsequently revised in 1975. While reviewing this standard in the light of experience gained during these years, the Committee decided to revise it to bring it in line with the present practices followed by the Indian industry. In this revision following changes have been made: a) Title of the standard has been changed to Flux cored solder wire — Specification, b) Clause on reference of Indian Standard has been updated; c) Total of other impurities given inthe Note under Table 1have been limited to 0.08 percent; d) Clause on marking has been modified; and e) Figures 1to 3have been incorporated. Meking characteristics and typical uses of flux cored solders are given for information in Annex A. Lead is known to be one of the toxic material directly responsible for many present day diseases and body poisoning. The levels oftoxicants like lead arevery high inthe vicinity where sofVsolder/solder wire are being manufactured. Therefore, utmost care isrequired tobetaken tominimize the leadinwork place air, ambient air and inthe industrial eftluents. For the purpose of deciding whether 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 IS2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding offnumerical values (revised)’. Thenumber of significant places retained inthe rounded off value should be the same asthat of the specified value inthis standard.
