Por the purpose ofdeciding whether a particular requirement ofthis standardis compliedwith,
the final value,' observed or calculated. expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be
rounded offin accordance with IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding offnumerical values ( rnls,d)'.
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as
