This standard was first published in 1966. This standard has been revised to overcome difficulties encountered by the khadi industry in implementation of the standard. Followng are the important changes carried out while revising this standard: a) Keeping in view the similarity in end use, the requirements of huckaback towels have also been covered in this standard. Hence IS 3775 : 1983 ‘Specification for huckaback towels, cotton khadi, bleached/dyed (jirst revision )’ stands withdrawn. b) For checking the conformity of the cloth to the requirements laid down in the standard, a provision has been made for testing of the samples in prevailing atmospheric conditions. However, in case of dispute, the samples shall be tested after conditioning in the standard atmospheric conditions. c) The standard provides for agreement between the buyer and the seller with respect to permissible number of defects in the towels. 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 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised )‘. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off values should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
