Where this standard is used on NirmanDost

Listed by product makers

3 products in the NirmanDost catalogue name this standard on their spec sheets — Dalmia Infra Pro, JSW Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), MP Birla Cement Concrecem. That is the maker’s own claim, copied as printed; we have not tested these products against the standard, and a spec sheet can cite the wrong code.
