Foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Iron and Steel
Standards Policy Committee and supersedes BS 64:1946 which is withdrawn.
Licensed Copy: iclnoa03 iclnoa03, Imperial College of Science and Technology (JISC), 25 August 2004, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

In this revision the requirements for fishbolts have been rationalized and
updated to ensure compatibility with BS 11 and BS 47-1.
Purchasers ordering to this standard are advised to specify in the purchasing
contract that the supplier operates a quality system in compliance with
BS 5750-1, BS 5750-2 or BS 5750-3 as relevant to assure to their satisfaction that
products claimed to comply with BS 64 consistently achieve the required level of
quality.
Marking BS 64 on or in relation to a product is a claim by the manufacturer that
the product has been manufactured to the requirements of this standard. The
accuracy of such a claim is therefore the sole responsibility of the manufacturer.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

Summary of pages

This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
