1. Scope of work
This purchase specification defines the naming convention and how to interpret the used syntaxes. The specifica-
tion provides the possibility to cover all ISO and DIN standards related to fasteners including bolts, studs, nuts and
washers. The specification covers the mechanical requirements for carbon steel fasteners and coating require-
ments for fasteners in general. Requirements towards friction controlling topcoats applicable for zinc flake coatings,
dry to touch lubricants for stainless steel fasteners and pre-lubricated fasteners with a wet lubricant is also ad-
dressed. It furthermore specifies specific requirements towards type of product, e.g. geometrical requirements. The
specification also provides a list of allowed substitutions for specific products.
The last section includes topics that needs to be addressed during qualification of new suppliers/existing suppliers
for new product groups and the specific qualification requirements for each group/subgroup.

6. Mechanical requirements – Carbon steel products

The following section describes the mechanical requirements for bolts, studs, washers and nuts made of carbon
steel.
6.1. Bolts and studs – ISO 898-1

All products must be manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 898-1 including the additions and clarification, as
specified in the sub-sections listed hereafter. For all products ≥ M42, the test methods defined in section 9 of EN
ISO 898-1:2013 is still applicable without any form for restrictions.

6.1.2. Hardness properties
The surface hardness must not exceed 375 HV for 10.9 and 430 HV for 12.9 and is defined as the mean value of
three measurements taken in a cross section in the middle of the non-threaded area of the shaft, 0.10 mm ± 0.02
mm, below the surface of the bolt (not below the surface of the coating). For full threaded products, the measure-
ment is performed in the middle of the bolt end. In the case of doubt the surface hardness after the coating process
is decisive for acceptance.
6.1.2.1. Bolts and studs ≥ M56
For bolts and studs ≥ M56 it is required to perform a hardness profile per manufacturing lot to prove that the me-
chanical properties are maintained over the entire threaded cross section. Therefore, at least 8 hardness meas-
urements in Vickers and a minimum load of F ≥ 98N must be taken even spread throughout the radius. For this
𝑑3
purpose, the radius is defined − 1 mm. The outer measurement point should have a minimum distance of 1 mm
2
from the edge. Figure 3 shows the measurements points.
Figure 3. Measurement point of the hardness test.
6.1.3. Minimum ultimate tensile load/Proof load
For all products > M39
 the minimum ultimate tensile load Fm,min must be calculated as: 𝐹𝑚,𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 𝐴𝑠,𝑛𝑜𝑚 ∙ 𝑅𝑚,𝑚𝑖𝑛
 the proof load Fp must be calculated as: 𝐹𝑝 = 𝐴𝑠,𝑛𝑜𝑚 ∙ 𝑆𝑝,𝑛𝑜𝑚
where
2
𝐴𝑠,𝑛𝑜𝑚 : Nominal stress areas of thread in mm .
𝑅𝑚,𝑚𝑖𝑛 : Minimum tensile strength in MPa.
𝑆𝑝,𝑛𝑜𝑚 : Nominal stress under proof load in MPa.
6.1.4. Carburization and decarburization
For products in property class 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 the requirements to heat treatment process listed hereafter must
be met.
 Carburization of the surface of the product is not accepted;

 Decarburization (ferrite) on the surface of the product is not accepted.
6.1.5. Surface discontinuities

Bolts and studs must fulfill ISO 6157-3 with regards to surface discontinuities.
1037252/006 – Restricted ECN C01097450

6.2. Nuts – ISO 898-2

Nuts must be manufactured in accordance with EN ISO 898-2 independently from the metric size.
It is allowed to replace nuts of a lower property class with a higher property class according to ISO 898-2:2012
section 5. It is not allowed to substitute property class 10 with 12.
