How intellectual property rights protect creativity and innovation
In the digital age, the shadow of IP theft looms ever larger. For organizations, protecting their intellectual property has become a relentless battle.
Standards ensure the reliability, durability, and compatibility of fasteners, including nuts, bolts, screws, and threads. They define specifications for dimensions, tolerances, materials, and coatings, supporting precision engineering and global interoperability.
Top standards
Fasteners — Hexagon socket countersunk head screws with reduced loadability
Fasteners — Electroplated coating systems
ISO general-purpose metric screw threads — Gauges and gauging
Mechanical properties of fasteners made of carbon steel and alloy steel
Part 1: Bolts, screws and studs with specified property classes — Coarse thread and fine pitch thread
ISO general purpose metric screw threads — Tolerances
Part 2: Limits of sizes for internal and external threads (tolerance classes 6H and 6g for M1,6 to M100 and 5H and 6h for M1 to M1,4)
Aerospace — Nuts, plain or slotted (castellated) — Procurement specification
