DIN EN 16602-70-46:2015-06

This standard defines the requirements for manufacturing, provision, inspection and quality control of high-quality threaded fastening devices (bolts, nuts, studs and screws) hereafter referred to as threaded fasteners or fasteners, used in space hardware. This standard does not include a complete review of the factors relevant to the fabrication of high quality threaded fasteners. It provides the definition of the technical requirements and quality control procedures to be applied in the fabrication and supply of threaded fasteners for spacecraft applications. Fasteners for spacecraft applications are those aerospace standard fasteners (that is in accordance with LN, DIN or other national or international aerospace standards), or those fasteners meeting or exceeding the requirements in ISO 4759-1 for "Product grade A", which also fulfil the requirements for space applications as specified in the present document. This document (DIN EN 16602-70-46:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/TC 5 "Space", the secretariat of which is held by DIN (Germany). This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence over any EN covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (for example: aerospace). The responsible German body involved in its preparation is Working Committee NA 131-10-01 AA "Interoperabilität von Informations-, Kommunikations- und Navigationssystemen" ("Interoperability of information, communication and navigation systems") at the DIN Standards Committee Aerospace (NL).
