Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 11, Fasteners with metric external thread, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 185, Fasteners, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 4014:2011), which has been technically revised.

The main changes are as follows:

tables for dimensions have been entirely restructured, so that the user can find the specified values in a reliable manner (no risk of picking the wrong dimension), see Clause 4 and Annex A;
M7 has been added;
d_w,min has been changed for sizes d ≤ M5 from s_min – IT16 to s_min – IT15, in order to have a larger bearing surface area and thus less contact pressure;
the rules for the shortest and greatest standard lengths have been added, and they have been amended accordingly;
for steel bolts, property classes 4.8 and 12.9/12.9 have been added;
for stainless steel bolts, grades D4 and D6 and property class 80 have been added;
property class 9.8 and non-ferrous metal bolts have been deleted;
specifications for marking and labelling have been added as Clause 6.

Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user's national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.
