PART IV STONE MASONRY
( Third Revisfon )
0. FOREWORD
0.1This Indian Standard ( Part IV ) ( Third Revision ) was adopted by
the Indian Standards Institution on 26 August 1976, after the draft
finalized by the Civil Works Measurement Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
3
IS : 1200 ( Part IV )-1976
0.5 Since various trades are not related to one another, the Sectional
Committee decided that method of measurement for each trade as given
in IS : 1200-1964* be issued separately as a different part, which will be
helpful to specific users in various trades. This part covering method of
measurement of stone masonry applicable to buildings as well as civil
-engineering works was, therefore, issued as a second revision in 1970.
0.6 In the course of use of this standard in the past five years, based on
suggestions received, certain amendments were issued to this standard by
the Sectional Committee and the third revision has been prepared so as to
incorporate such amendments.
,0.7 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the results of a measurement, shall be rounded off in accord-
ance with IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places ‘retained in
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
