Introduction
Rules for design and execution of bolted connections with non-preloaded low strength or high-strength structural
bolts respectively are defined for instance in EN 1993-1-8 (Eurocode 3) and prEN 1090-2.
The parts of this European Standard on structural bolting specify the general requirements which ensure that
bolt/nut/washer assemblies are suitable for use in non preloaded structural bolting. They can be used in shear con-
nections and/or in tension connections if no preload is required. Structural fasteners which meet the requirements
of this part of this European Standard have been designed to allow tensile loading of at least fub × As as defined in
EN 1993-1-8.
Structural fasteners which meet the requirements of EN 14399-1 are suitable for use in preloaded and
non-preloaded structural bolting. This European Standard deals with structural fasteners which are intended for use
as non-preloaded assemblies.
Since the tensile resistance of bolt/nut assemblies is very sensitive to differences in manufacture, it is important
that the assemblies are supplied by one manufacturer who is always responsible for the function of the assembly.
For the same reason it is important that coating of the assemblies is under the control of one manufacturer.
Beside the mechanical properties of the components the functionality of the assembly requires that the required
tensile resistance is achieved. For this purpose the tensile test of assemblies is a means to check whether the func-
tion of the assembly is fulfilled.

1 Scope
This part of this European Standard specifies the general requirements for the components of bolt/nut/washer
assemblies for non-preloaded structural bolting and for the assemblies themselves. It applies to bolts (including
screws, studs and stud bolts) and nuts made of carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel with the following
property classes:
 bolts made of carbon steel and alloy steel: 4.6, 4.8, 5.6, 5.8, 6.8, 8.8, 10.9;
 nuts made of carbon steel and alloy steel: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12;
 bolts made of austenitic stainless steel: 50, 70, 80;
 nuts made of austenitic stainless steel: 50, 70, 80;
 if appropriate, washers according to hardness class HV 100 or HV 200.
NOTE The property classes 4.8, 5.8 and 6.8 may be subjected to limitations of use, it is recommended to refer to
prEN 1090-2.
The standard applies to thread sizes from M12 to M36 and to the associated washers but does not preclude the
use of other sizes.
Bolted connections with components according to this European Standard are able to be shear and/or tensile
loaded.
Bolts, nuts and washers according to this European Standard are not normally intended for welding.

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in prEN 1090-2:2005 and the following apply.
3.1
assembly
comprises matching bolt, nut and washer(s) (as necessary) with the same coating if any
3.2
manufacturing lot
quantity of fasteners of a single designation including product grade, property class and size1), manufactured from
bar, wire, rod or flat product from a single cast, processed through the same or similar steps at the same time or
over a continuous time period through the same heat treatment and/or coating process, if any
Same heat treatment or coating process means:

— for a continuous process, the same treatment cycle without any setting modification;
— for a discontinuous process, the same treatment cycle for identical consecutive loads (batches).
NOTE The manufacturing lot may be split into a number of manufacturing batches for processing purposes and then reas-
sembled into the same manufacturing lot.
