British fastener standards became obsolete many years ago but are still in use in the fastener market and the fastener aftermarket. British standards for fasteners should have been overtaken by ISO standards in fasteners and EN standards in fasteners, but in practice, the German DIN standards became the fastener market leaders. DIN 933, DIN 931 and DIN 912 being the most popular Metric fastener products in the world. When it comes to Inch washers, the BS fastener standard is still extensively used.
