FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on 25 January 1989, after the
draft finalized by the Water Supply and Sanitation Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Crvil Engineering Division Council.
This standard deals with the quality, Ferformance and overall dimensions of glassfibre reinforced
corrugated translucent sheeting for bundmg purposes. It includes sheeting of all profiles given in
IS 277 : 1985 ‘Specification fur galvanized steel sheets ( plain and corrugated ) (fourth revision )‘,
1s 459 : 1970 ‘Specification for unreinforced corrugated and semi corrugated asbestos cement sheets
( second revision )‘, and IS 1254 : 1975 ‘Specification for corrugated aluminium sheet ( second revision )‘.
For the preparation of this standard, considerable assistance has been derived from BS 4 I54 ( Part I ) :
1985 ‘Specification for corrugated plastic translucent sheets made from thermosetting polyester resin
( glassfibre reinforced )‘, issued by the British Standards Institution, U.K.
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 JS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerrcal 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 standard.

Amendments are issued to standards as the need arises on the basis of comments. Standards are also
reviewed periodically; a standard along with amendments is reaffirmed when such review indicates that
no changes are needed, if the review indicates their changes arc needed, it is taken up for revision. Users
