IS 6313 is the Bureau of Indian Standards code of practice for anti-termite measures in buildings. It is organised into three parts, with each part addressing a different stage of protecting a building from termites.
IS 6313 at a Glance
| Part | Subject | When relevant |
|---|---|---|
| Part 1:1981 | Constructional measures | Planning and constructing a building |
| Part 2:2022 | Pre-construction chemical treatment | New buildings under construction |
| Part 3:2022 | Treatment for existing buildings | Completed or occupied buildings |
Part 1: Constructional Measures
IS 6313 Part 1 covers constructional measures for controlling subterranean termites. Building design and construction practices can reduce potential termite entry points before treatment is applied.
Part 2: Pre-Construction Chemical Treatment
Part 2 covers chemical anti-termite measures carried out while a new building is under construction. Ask providers which construction stages and areas are included, how the work will be documented and which labelled product is proposed.
Part 3: Treatment for Existing Buildings
Part 3 applies to completed buildings. Treatment should begin with an inspection of visible activity, affected areas and possible entry routes before drilling, injection, soil treatment or other measures are selected.
Which Part Applies to Your Property?
Building a new property? Parts 1 and 2 are the relevant starting points for constructional and pre-construction measures.
Seeing termites in a completed building? Part 3 is the relevant treatment guide, subject to a site inspection.
