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 on 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 the following URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 7, Reference standards.

Introduction

This document specifies the fastener inspection documents which can be supplied when requested at the time of the order.

Before publication of this document, inspection documents according to ISO 10474 or EN 10204 were also applied for fasteners. This document was developed specifically for fasteners, as a preferred alternative to ISO 10474 or EN 10204.

Data in inspection documents may be collected from in-process control during the manufacture of the fasteners and/or from final control on the finished fasteners based on sampling. In-process control during manufacture within a certified quality assurance system operated by the manufacturer gives the most reliable information about conformance of the fasteners (for more information regarding acceptance inspection or quality assurance for fasteners, see ISO 3269 or ISO 16426).

Inspection documents for fasteners may include material, mechanical, physical, dimensional, functional and finish-coating properties, as agreed at the time of the order.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 3 August 2017.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom.

1 Scope

This document specifies the different types of fastener inspection documents issued by the fastener manufacturer or distributor and/or by the external authorized representative on specific request of the purchaser at the time of the order.

declaration of compliance (F2.1);
test reports (F2.2, F3.1 and F3.2).

NOTE The term “certificate” is in common use, however for fastener inspection documents the terminology to be used is “test report”.

This document specifies requirements for the content of each fastener inspection document, in conjunction with the order, the relevant standards and/or specified requirements.

This document is applicable to finished fasteners such as bolts, screws, studs, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, etc. made of steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metal or non-metallic material.

This document does not apply to special-purpose or specially engineered applications requiring other types of procedures (e.g. initial samples).

Examples of inspection documents are given in Annex A. An example of a coding system identifying the sections in fastener inspection documents is given in Annex B.
