SODIUM FORMATE-SPECIFICATION
UDC 661*733*12
Q BIS 1992
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the
Organic Chemicals ( Miscellaneous ) Sectional Committee had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal
and Related Products Division Council.
Sodium formate ( sodium salt of formic acid ) is used as a tanning agent in leather industry, in the
manufacture of various chemicals like formic acid, sodium hydrosulphite, various metal formates, in dyeing
and printing fabrics and also in analytical chemistry as a precipitant for the noble metals.
It is manufactured on industrial scale, generally by two routes :
a) by direct synthesis through reaction between sodium hydroxide and carbon monoxide; and
b) as a by product in the manufacture of pentaerythritol.
This standard contains clauses 4.3 and 5.1 which call for an agreement between the purchaser and the
supplier.
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 ;Lccordance
with IS 2 : 1960 <Rules for rounding bfl’ uumcrical values ( reui.red )‘. The number of significant places
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

Standard Mark
The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian
Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The Standard Mark on
products covered by an Indian Standard conveys the assurance that they have been
produced to comply with the requirements of that standard under a well defined system of
inspection, testing and quality control which is devised and supervised by B1S and operated
by the producer. Standard marked products are ah.0 continuously checked by BIS for con-
formity to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence
for the use of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be
obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
