Preloaded bolted assemblies are very sensitive to differences in manufacture and lubrication. Therefore it is important that the assembly is supplied by one manufacturer who is always responsible for the function of the assembly. For the same reason it is important that coating of the assembly is under the control of one manufacturer. Beside the mechanical properties of the components the functionality of the assembly requires that the specified preload can be achieved if the assembly is tightened with a suitable procedure. For this purpose a test method for the suitability of the components for preloading was created which will demonstrate whether the function of the
assembly is fulfilled. For the time being, the product standards EN 14399-3 to EN 14399-6 are the only European Standards which have regard to the general requirements of EN 14399-1. However, further product standards on fit bolts, countersunk head bolts, and load indicating washers for the use in high strength structural bolting for preloading are under preparation.

4.4.5 Marking All components used in assemblies for high strength structural bolting, which are suitable for preloading, shall be marked with the identification mark of the manufacturer of the assemblies and with the letter H. Additional letters defining the system (e.g. R for HR or V for HV) shall be added to H for bolts and nuts. All components of an assembly shall be marked with the same identification mark. 4.5 Durability Finish and coating of assemblies shall be in accordance with 4.2.4. A surface coating shall be used to enhance the inherent durability of assemblies against corrosion, if required. This durability shall be achieved either by applying a specified coating, or as part of the durability of the structure in which the assemblies are used. NOTE 1 For durability of structures against corrosion, protective coatings and method application, ENV 1090-1:1996, Clause 10, refers to
the relevant part of EN ISO 12944. The mechanical durability of assemblies is assured for a reasonable economic working life if the assembly com-plies with the requirements of this document and is used in accordance with the manufacturer's specification for tightening.
