0.4 The Gymnastics and Sports Equipment Technical Committee ( ISO/TC 83 ) of the International Organization for Standardization ( IS0 ) with the active help and collaboration of the International Gym- nastic Federation ( IGF ) is concerning itself with standardization of this equipment. This standard is based on the IS0 proposal on the subject.

0.5 Clause 6.1 calls for an agreement between the purchaser and the supplier or permits the purchaser to use his option for selection to suit his requirements.

0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express- ing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
