Hard surface, namely, floors, laminated table tops, kitchen table tops need frequent cleaning for the removal of soils and stains. Th e conventional liquid cleaners based on soaps and detergents clean and wash away the dirts while cleaning. These , often, do not contain any effective antibacterial agent. A hard surface cleaner with a suitable quarternary ammonium compound not only cleans the surface superficially, but also effectively reduces the bio-burden and keeps the environment clean due to the effect of antibacterial agent, that is, quarternary ammonium compound. A product of this type helps to create hygienic environment through cleaning and reducing the effect of bio-burden substances. It also helps to reduce the mal-odour caused due to decomposition of organic matters present in hard surfaces, that is, kitchen, table tops, floors in kitchen and bathroom, etc. A product of this type may be used either neat in a small area which deserves cleansing of ingrained dirt/ heavily soiled area or diluted suitably with water for maintenance cleaning for a hygienic environment. The quarternar y ammonium compounds (QAC) may be cetylpyridinium chloride, cetalkonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride or any proven quarternary ammonium compound, suitable for the purpose. The composition of the technical committee responsible for formulating this standard is given in Annex D. 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 : 196 0 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)'. Th e number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
