DEUTSCHE NORM November 2001 Designation system for fasteners IGS 21,060.10; 21.060.20 Supersedes Septamber 1990 edition, ‘Schrauben und Muttern - Bezeichnungsangaben ~ Formen und Ausfuhrungen In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (SO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal markor. Foreword This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee Fachgrundnormen of the Normenausschuss Mochanischo Verbindungsolomento (Fasteners Standards Committee). With the publication of DIN 34803, the dimensional specifications for split pin holes and wire holes given in the September 1990 edition of DIN 962 have been superseded. Since the dimensional specifications for slots in hexagon and square head bolts have been dropped, the present standard now only features a designation system for bolts, screws, studs and nuts. It should be noted that some of the symbols given in table 2 of this standard differ from those used in the previous edition of DIN 962. For ease of reference, table B.1 in Annex B correlates the old and new symbols. Amendments ‘This standard differs from the September 1990 edition as follows: ) Additional design features have bean included in the designation and clause 4 has bean amended accordingly. b) The featuras and symbols given in table 2 have been harmonized with those given in DIN EN ISO 4753. +c) Specifications for thread ends of tapping screws, for bolts and screws with ends of types So, Spz Sz, Tm, To and Z, for screws with cross-recessed head, for split pin holes and wire holes, and for the slotting of hexagon and square head bolts are no longer included. 4) Annex A specifying the dimensions of bolt/screw ends of types Ak and Asp has been included. 2) References have been updated. Previous editions DIN 962: 1988-08, 1989-08, 1975-09, 1988-12, 1990-09. Continued on pages 2 to 9. Translation by DIN-Sprachendienst.

This standard specifies a designation system for bolts, screws, studs and nuts (‘fasteners’, for short) It also gives supplementary order designations for special features and finishes of such fasteners which are not covered in the relevant product standards. 2 Normative references This standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These norma- tive references are cited at the appropriate places In the text, and the titles of the publications are listed below. For dated referances, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this, standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
