FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 7046-2:1990 Cross recessed
countersunk flat head screws (common head style) Grade A Part 2: Steel of property ctass 8.8,
stainless steel and non-ferrous metals issued by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations
of the Bolts, Nuts and
Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Instruments, General and
Production Engineering Division Council.
This standard was originally issued in 1974 and revised in 1985. The earlier edition was based on ISO
7046:1983
Cross-recessed
countersunk flat head screws (common head style) Product grade A
and property class 4.8 only. This second revision has been revised splitting into two parts harmonizing
with ISO 7046-1 :1994 and ISO 7046-2:1990
by adopting them.
Part 1 of this standard

covers the screws for steel of property class 4.8.

Part 2 has been harmonized with ISO 7046-2:1990

taken place at international level.

by adoption to make pace with the latest developments

The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard
without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in
Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a)

Wherever the words International

be read as Indian Standard.

Standard appear referring to this standard,

they should

b)

Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding
Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their places are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:
