This revision also includes recommended equivalent to the word ‘danger’ in some of the regional languages for use inthe respective states.

It is, however, recognized thatthe use of danger notices in the form of stickers are also in vogue in the country in some States. The requirements of such danger notices in a form other than plates are under consideration for standardization. In the interest of universal acceptance of the message of caution in the danger notice irrespective of language consideration, it is proposed to evolve, a standard symbol for danger which would, it is hoped in due course replace the present contents of danger notice. For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, ‘observed or calculated, expressing the result ofa test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2: 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that ofthe specified valve in this standard.
