0. FOREWORD
0.1 This revised Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 10 March 1964, after the draft finalized by the Builders
Hardware Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building
Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1950 specifying the various dimensions and other requirements of hooks and eyes in fps system. In view
of the adoption of the metric system of weights and measures by the
Government of India, the need for revision of this standard with a view
to metricizing it and bringing it in line with IS : 451-1961 Specification
for Wood Screws ( Revised) in regard to form of screw thread and other
relevant requirements has long been felt both by the trade and consumers.
This revision, therefore, specifies the various demensions and other
requirements of hooks and eyes made of mild steel and brass in the
metric units and the details of screw threads and other relevant requirements in accordance with IS : 451-1961.
0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this
standard has taken into consideration the views of producers, consumers
and technologists and has related the standard to the manufacturing and
trade practices followed in the country in this field. Due weightage has
also been given to the need for international
co-ordination
among
standards prevailing in different countries of the world.
0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard
appears in
specification, it shall be taken as a reference to its latest version.
