Description

This International Standard specifies the acceptance inspection procedure that the purchaser of fasteners must follow in order to determine whether a lot of fasteners will be accepted or rejected in cases where no other such procedure was agreed with the supplier at the time the fasteners were ordered.

Additional requirements for acceptance may be included in a specific product standard (for example, one on prevailing torque-type nuts).

The same procedure is also to be applied in cases where conformance to specification is disputed.

Scope

This International Standard is applicable to bolts, screws, studs, nuts, pins, washers, blind rivets and other related fasteners not intended for high volume machine assembly, special-purpose applications or specially engineered applications requiring greater in-process control and lot traceability.
