Manufacturer’s standards for fasteners

Fasteners are used to join individual components to form a technical system, such as an assembly or a complete machine, and must therefore be of high quality and performance. We verify compliance with the internationally recognised standards DIN EN ISO 19598 and DIN EN ISO 4042.
