National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General
Mechanical Engineering Standards Policy Committee and is the English
language version of EN 26157-1:1991, “Fasteners — Surface discontinuities —
Part 1: Bolts, screws and studs for general requirements’, published by the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is identical with
ISO 6157-1:1988, published by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO). EN 26157-1:1991 was produced as a result of
international discussion in which the UK took an active part.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
the EN title page, pages 2 to 12, an inside back cover and a back cover.
This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the
inside front cover.

3 Types, causes, appearance and limits of surface discontinuities
3.1 Cracks
A crack is a clean (crystalline) fracture passing through or across the grain boundaries and may possibly
follow inclusions of foreign elements. Cracks are normally caused by overstressing the metal during forging
or other forming operations, or during heat treatment. Where parts are subjected to significant reheating,
cracks usually are discoloured by scale.
© BSI 08-1999 3
EN 26157-1:1991
Limits Quench cracks of any depth, any length, or in any location are not permitted.
3.1.2 Forging cracks
Cause Forging cracks may occur during the cut-off or forging operations and are located on the
top of the head of screws and bolts and on the raised periphery of indented head bolts and
screws.
Appearance

EN 26157-1:1991
6 © BSI 08-1999
EN 26157-1:1991
Cause Seams and laps are inherent in the raw material from which fasteners are made.
Appearance

EN 26157-1:1991
3.3 Voids
A void is a shallow pocket or hollow on the surface of a bolt or screw due to non-filling of metal during
forging or upsetting.
Cause Voids are produced by marks and impressions due to chips (shear burrs) or by rust
formation on the raw material. They are not eliminated during forging or upsetting
operations.
Appearance

EN 26157-1:1991
3.4 Folds
A fold is a doubling over of metal which occurs at the surface of the fastener during forging.
Cause Folds are produced by material displacements due to lack of congruence of forms and
volumes of the single forging steps.
Appearance
Limits Folds at interior corners at or below the bearing surface are not permissible, unless
specifically permitted in this part of ISO 6157 or in the product standard.
Folds at exterior corners are permissible.
3.5 Tool marks
Tool marks are longitudinal or circumferential grooves of shallow depth.
Cause Tool marks are produced by the movement of manufacturing tools over the surface of the
bolt or screw.
Appearance
Limits Tool marks produced by machining in the shank, fillet or bearing surface shall not exceed
a surface roughness of Ra = 3,2 4m when tested in accordance with ISO 468.

EN 26157-1:1991
3.6 Damages
Damages are indentations of any surface of a bolt or screw.
Cause Damages, for example dents, scrapes, nicks and gouges, are produced by external action
during manufacture and handling of bolts and screws, for example during loading.
Appearance No precise geometrical shape, location or direction, identifiable as external action.
Limits Damages as described above shall not cause rejection unless it can be shown that they
impair function or usability.
Dents, scrapes, nicks and gouges on the first three threads shall be such that they allow
the screwing on of a go-ring gauge with torque values of 0,001 d3 max., in newton metres.
