    The new version of ISO 898-1, which defines materials and properties for metric bolts, screws and studs, is now available. It is almost double the length of the previous 1999 version and includes more details on allowable materials, properties, and testing methods for various fastener designs. Some of the changes may impact stockists and manufacturers, as material grades have been modified and testing requirements have been updated to increase uniformity across different testing sources. UK fastener companies will need to assess how to adjust their manufacturing and testing to meet the new standard.

    New version of ISO 898-1 issues

    John Newnham, Fastener Specialist, CBM

    Numerous quality engineers will need to make an immediate purchase of the


    new version of ISO 898-1, which is a fundamental standard not only for standard
    fasteners, but also for proprietary drawings, many of which refer to ISO 898-1 to
    define the required properties of special bolts and studs. The document defines
    the materials and properties for metric bolts screws and studs in carbon and alloy
    steels, except for set screws and similar fasteners not under tensile stress. In the
    UK it is designated BS EN ISO 898-1:2009, and it is now available from BSI,
    replacing ISO 898-1:1999.

    Compared with the 1999 version which has 30 pages, the new standard is almost
    double the length, and attempts to apply to the widest possible range of
    configurations and designs of such fasteners. It also includes detailed
    descriptions of the common tests for the properties that are expected, but as in
    the previous standard, does not include properties such as weldability, corrosion
    resistance, elevated temperature properties, shear properties and fatigue
    resistance.

    This standard has had a relatively lengthy passage through the various stages of
    approval. In the ISO meeting of 2007 in Stockholm, the working group chairman
    had more than 300 written comments on the draft for discussion. It needed a
    further meeting, in Switzerland in September 2008, before agreement was
    reached, and the final version was voted upon in the first two months of 2009.

    Some of the fundamental changes in the standard concern materials. The old 3.6
    grade is no longer defined, and while the remaining lower strength grades up to
    9.8 have included more flexibility in the choice of materials, there are significant
    changes at 10.9 and 12.9 grades.

    The old ‘10.9’ grade referring to carbon steel with additives (B, Mn, or Cr) is
    gone, and is now designated as ‘10.9’ grade, along with carbon and alloy steels,
    all quenched and tempered to give the appropriate properties. However, the
    previously allowed low tempering temperature of 340˚c for 10.9 has also been
    eliminated, and the minimum temperature is now 425˚c.

    There is a new ‘12.9’ grade for carbon steels with additives (B, Mn, Cr, or Mo),
    which is now separated from the old ‘12.9’ grade for alloy steel. The minimum
    tempering temperature of the ‘12.9’ grade is 380˚c, which previously applied to
    alloy steels of 12.9 grade. Now, alloy steels designated ‘12.9’ must be tempered
    at 425˚c or above. Some of these changes may have an impact on stockists, who
    have parts with the old designations on the shelf.

    It is in the area of mechanical test methods that this standard has been most
    enlarged, and though the range of properties being tested is the same, there is
    much more information on the details of how to test various different designs of
    fasteners. The details and requirements of some of the properties have also
    been changed, and it would be expected that some of this extra definition may
    result in changes to established practice. But the objective of this detail is to bring
    more uniformity to the way various fastener types are tested, and the way the test
    results are handled, so that there is direct compatibility between results from
    different sources.

    The UK fastener manufacturing community will need to assess what changes


    need to be made to the type of bolts and studs that they make, and to the testing
    methods. In recent years there has been a lack of participation in BSI fastener
    committees and the working groups of ISO, so changes such as these come as a
    shock in most cases. CBM is now trying to ensure that there is a greater degree
    of awareness for manufacturers in the future by participation in the BSI
    committees.
