FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards. after the
draft finalized by the Environmental Protection Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Chemical Division Council.
Zinc is an essential and beneficial element in body growth. Concentration above 5 mg/1 may
cause a bitter astringent taste and opalescence in alkaline water. Zinc most commonly enters
the domestic water supply from deterioration of galvanized iron and dezincification of brass.
Zinc in water may also come from industrial water pollution. In the preparation of this standard
considerable assistance has been derived from American Standard Test Methods ( ASTM Annual
Book Section 11. 1933) and Analytica Chimica Acta. 164 ( 1984) pp 1-21. The assistance so
derived is thankfully acknowledged. This standard supersedes 17 of lS 2488 (Part 2 ) : 1968
and 39 of IS 3025 : 1964.
In reporting the result of a test or analysis made in accordance with this standard. if the final
value. observed or calcuhted, is to be rounded off. it shall be done in accorJance with IS 2 : 1960
'Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)'.
The composition of the technical committee responsible for the formulation of this Indian
Standard is given in Annex A.
