Introduction
Normally standards are reviewed every five years to check if they are still state of the art. This is an important measure,
even from the legal point of view. Complaints or even claims often arise due to the ignorance or non-compliance
with current standards and the included cross references.
In recent years, a large number of DIN standards have been replaced by international DIN EN ISO standards. For
export-oriented companies it is indispensable to know which standards are valid and which are withdrawn. If repairing
is necessary, the customer or the service mechanic should be able to obtain appropriate fasteners being state of the
art. In case of warranty, the manufacturer has to prove the observance of and compliance with all rules valid at the
time of commissioning.
In practice, it is still the case that a large number of users utilizes products that are withdrawn and replaced by successors
or continues to use products according to standards withdrawn without replacement. For trading companies of
fasteners, this means that more effort for storage and disposition is needed. The processing companies rarely demand
for current standards, so this can have a negative effect on the procurement prices, as the manufacturers only produce
small quantities.
Products according to withdrawn standards should only be used, when spare parts are requested. In cases the standards
have been withdrawn without replacement, because there is no functional guarantee or in cases the standards are revised
due to safety reasons, it is indispensable to observe the state of the art.
This brochure is intended to assist you in the changeover from withdrawn DIN standards to current EN and/or ISO
standards. Information is given on which changes of the respective product standard are relevant for application.
If an ISO standard is implemented on national level without any changes, the same designation as the corresponding
ISO standard is given to the national standard. Only the abbreviations DIN EN are added to the designation. This
means that an ISO nut is ISO 4032-M12-8 all over the world. Thus, the German version of the standard is called DIN
EN ISO 4032-M12-8.
There is often a lot of work to do to change designations in the materials management system, in drawings and parts
lists. However, these adaptations are inavoidable, if a company wants to continue to be successful. In case you do not
comply with the state of the art (Product Safety Act), even one claim can exceed the supposed cost savings by far.
2. Standardization
In the past, standardization activities at national level have been realized by the German Institute for Standardization
(Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. = DIN) in Germany. Furthermore, there are EN standards at European level and
ISO standards at international level which are published by the International Organization for Standardization.
2.1 DIN
National standards (DIN) will be/have been largely replaced by international/European standards.
DIN standards are still valid for products having no ISO or EN standards.
2.2 ISO
According to the task and aim of the ISO founded in 1946, international standards (ISO) are supposed to standardize
technical regulations worldwide and make it easier to exchange goods and reduce trade barriers.
2.3 EN
The purpose of European standards (EN) is the harmonization of technical regulations and laws within the single
market of the European Union (EU/EWG) that was jointly created on 1st January 1993. As far as possible, existing
ISO standards should generally be adopted as EN standards without any changes. The difference between ISO and
EN standards is that EN standards following the decision of the European Council have to be adopted and implemen-
ted in the member states as national standards without any changes and without delay – and the corresponding national
standards have to be withdrawn at the same time.

7. Tapping screws
When changing the DIN standards for tapping screws to ISO standards, some head heights and head diameters have
been changed. Furthermore, the head angle of countersunk head tapping screws has been changed from 80° to 90°.
When manufacturing the countersinks, the applicable specifications of ISO 15065 have to be observed.

Some DIN standards often used, such as DIN 125, have been withdrawn and replaced by the ISO standards 7089
and 7090. Hardness class 140 HV, which has often been used, is no longer included in the successor standards. In
any case, it is absolutely necessary to use at least hardness class 200 HV for high-strength screws and bolts of
property class 8.8 and higher. This is often ignored in practice.

DIN 6796 is the only DIN standard for locking washers which is still valid. All other DIN standards have already been

property class 8.8 or higher.
In combination with screws or bolts up to property class 10.9, DIN standard 6796 can be used to reduce settling.
