FASTENERS ISO COMPARISON

Fastener standard comparisons shown in the following table are provided for guidance only as there are often dimensional variations between standards. The ISO Fastener Committee was formed to standardise metric fastener systems. At that time several European and Asian countries had their own designs of metric fasteners. To standardise these designs the ISO TC2 Fastener Committee was formed, the predominant metric fastener standard at the time was DIN so it became the foundational metric fastener standard system from which the eventual ISO fastener standards evolved.
