( Foreword) - Insert the following before the last para:
'A scheme for labelling environment friendly products known as ECO Mark hasbeen introduced at the instance of the Ministry of Environment and Forests(MEF), Government of India. The ECO Mark would be administered by theBureau of Indian Standards (BIS) under the SIS Act, 1986 as per the ResolutionNo. 71 dated 21 February 1991 and No. 42S dated 28 October 1992 published inthe Gazette of the Government of India. For a product to be eligible for markingwith ECO logo, it shall also carry the lSI Mark of BIS besides meeting additionaloptional environment friendly requirements. For this purpose, the StandardMark of BIS would be single mark being a combination of the lSI Mark and theECO logo. Requirements to be satisfied for a product to qualify for the BISStandard Mark for BCO friendliness being included in the relevant publishedstandards through an amendment. These requirements are optional;manufactwing units are free to opt for the lSI Mark alone also.
The amendment is based on the Gazette Notification No. 160 dated 1 April 1999for Fire Extinguishers as environment friendly products published in the Gazetteof the Government of India.'

FOREWORD
This IndianStandard(FirstRevision)wasadoptedbythe Bureauof Indian Standards,afterthedraftfmalizedbythe FireFightingSectionalCommittee had beenapprovedby the Civil Engineering DivisionCouncil.
Dry powder flre extinguishers (trolley mounted)are largerversion of theportabledrypowderfireextinguishersand likethe latter they maybeusedfordealingwithclassA, 8 and C fires which may be beyondthe capacityof the portable fire extinguishers but which can still be controlled without the aid of fife engines/crashtenders. In principle,the operation of such fire extinguishers and portable fire extinguishers are similar; butbecauseoflarger capacity,bulkandmass of the former, thesehaveto bemountedon a wheeled carnage trolleyand the design of the fittingshave to be modifiedto suit the mode of operationand their capacity. The detailsin regard to the maintenanceare given in IS2190 : 1992'Selection installationand maintenanceof'first-aidflreextinguishers-Code of practice (second revision)'.
The extinguisher and component shall be designed taking into account the working pressure required toachieve satisfactoryperformanceunderminimumambienttemperatureof 35°Canddesignpressurewhichshallbe maximumpressureachievedat 600C ambienttemperatureor maximumpressurelikelyto be developedin thesystem with stoppage of powder flow due to obstructionwhicheveris more.
This standard has been prepared with a view to guide the industries for the manufacturer and the users inobtaining the extinguisher capable of giving satisfactory performance. This standard was first publishedin 1983. The principal modificationsmade in this revisionare inrespectof (a) materials specifiedfor differentcomponentsgivenin tabularformand for somecomponents additional materials havebeen specified,(b) newclauses for actuating mechanism,bore size of syphon tube, epoxy polyesterpowder coating, and (c) updatingthe various clauses based on the use of this type of extinguisher. The amendment issued has also beenincorporatedin the revised version.
The Composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given atAnnexC.
For the purposeof decidingwhethera particularrequirement of this standard is compliedwith, the fmal value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS 2:1960'Rules forrounding offnumerical values(revised)'. Thenumberof significant placesretained intherounded otTvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

SAMPLINGANDCRITERIA FORCONFORMITY
B-OGENERAL
B-O.I The risk involved in failure ofa fire extinguisherto work when needed is extremely large. Fire extinguishers, therefore, ought to have a high degree ofreliability of performance during the entire period ofits service. It can be achieved only through adequatedesign and control at all stages of manufacture andassembly.
B-1 SAMPLING
8-1.1 Lot
All fire extinguishers of the same type, shape, designand capacity, produced by the same manufacturer fromsimilar materials under almost identical conditions ofmanufacture shall be grouped together to constitute a lot.
8-1.2 Each lot shall be considered individually for thepurpose of evaluation of quality in accordance withthis specification.

8-1.2.1 The number of samples for testing to betakenat random from a lot and the criteria for conformityshall be as given in 8-1.2.2 and 8-1.2.3.
8-1.2.2 From each lot a number ofsamples as indicatedin col 2 of Table 2 shall be selected at random.
8-1.2.3 They shall be examined visually, as far aspossible, in respect of requirements specified in 3, 5to 8, 11 and then in respect ofhydraulic pressure test(see 9).
8-1.2.3.1 All the samples tested shall pass thesetests for the lot to be declared to conform to theserequirements.
8-1.2.4 In respect ofperformance test (see 9.1), onesample shall be tested for this property. and the sampleshall pass this test for the lot to be declared to conformto this requirement.
8-1.2.5 In respect ofbursting pressure (see 9.3), one
