Fasteners - Grooved pins with round head - Full-length diamond grooves (ISO 8746:2025)
This document specifies the characteristics of grooved pins with round head, full-length diamond grooves and pilot point or chamfered point, in steel and stainless steel, and with nominal diameter 2 mm to 20 mm.
These grooved pins are designed to fulfil the main following function: locking together two or more parts, with the easiest installation (due to the pilot or chamfer point) and a highest level of pull-out resistance (due to the elastic fit behaviour of the pin).
The general requirements (including functional principles for grooved pins and assembly) are specified in ISO 13669.
Verbindungselemente - Halbrundkerbnägel (ISO 8746:2025)
Dieses Dokument legt die Eigenschaften von Halbrundkerbnägeln mit durchgehenden Rautenuten und Einführende oder gefastem Ende, aus Stahl und nichtrostendem Stahl und mit einem Nenndurchmesser 2 mm bis 20 mm fest.
Diese Kerbnägel sind so ausgelegt, dass sie die folgende Hauptfunktion ausführen: zwei oder mehr Teile kraftschlüssig miteinander verbinden, mit einfachstem Einbau (durch das Einführende oder gefaste Ende) und mit höchster Auszugsfestigkeit (durch das elastische Passverhalten des Stifts).
Die allgemeinen Anforderungen (einschließlich Grundlagen hinsichtlich der Funktion für Kerbstifte und Zusammenbau) sind in ISO 13669 festgelegt.
Fixations - Clous cannelés à tête ronde - Cannelures diamant sur toute la longueur (ISO 8746:2025)
Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques des clous cannelés à tête ronde, à cannelures diamant sur toute la longueur et à bout pilote ou à bout chanfreiné, en acier et en acier inoxydable, et de diamètre nominal 2 mm à 20 mm.
Ces clous cannelés sont conçus pour remplir la fonction principale suivante: solidarisation de deux ou plusieurs pièces, avec une installation la plus facile (du fait du bout pilote ou du bout chanfreiné) et une résistance à l'extraction la plus élevée (du fait du comportement par ajustement élastique du clou dans son trou).
Les exigences générales (incluant les principes fonctionnels des goupilles cannelées et leur assemblage) sont spécifiées dans l'ISO 13669.
Vezni elementi - Zasekani zatiči s polokroglo glavo - Diamantni utori po celotni dolžini (ISO 8746:2025)
Ta dokument določa značilnosti zasekanih zatičev s polokroglo glavo, z diamantnimi utori po celotni dolžini in s pilotno ali posneto konico, iz jekla in nerjavnega jekla ter z nazivnim premerom od 2 mm do 20 mm. Ti zatiči z utori so zasnovani tako, da izpolnjujejo naslednjo glavno funkcijo: spajanje dveh ali več delov, z najenostavnejšo namestitvijo (zaradi pilotne oziroma posnete konice) in najvišjo stopnjo odpornosti proti izvleku (zaradi elastičnega prileganja zatiča). Splošne zahteve (vključno s funkcionalnimi načeli za zatiče z utori in sestavo) so določene v standardu ISO 13669.

Overview
EN ISO 8746:2025 / ISO 8746:2025 specifies the characteristics of grooved pins with round head and full‑length diamond grooves (nominal diameters 2 mm to 20 mm). It covers pins with a pilot point (PL) or optional chamfered point (CH) in steel and stainless steel, intended primarily for locking together two or more parts. These pins are designed for easy installation (pilot/chamfer point) and high pull‑out resistance due to the pin’s elastic fit behaviour. General functional principles and assembly requirements are referenced to ISO 13669. This edition (third) supersedes EN ISO 8746:1997 and was adopted by CEN in 2025.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and intent: Grooved pins with round head, full‑length diamond grooves, nominal diameters 2–20 mm, materials steel and specified stainless grades.
- Geometry and grooves:
- Three diamond grooves (120° apart ±20°); groove angle 70° (reference per ISO 13669).
- Grooves closed at the pilot point and open at a chamfer point.
- Head diameters and underhead dimensions specified; maximum distance from underhead bearing surface to groove start defined.
- Points and symbols:
- Pilot point symbol PL (default) and chamfer point CH (on request); point lengths specified as minimums.
- Dimensions and tolerances:
- Detailed size tables for diameters 2–20 mm and standard length ranges; tolerances for expanded diameter and pin straightness controlled per ISO 13669.
- Materials and finishes:
- Steel (St) and stainless grades (A1, A2, A4, C1, F1) specified; other materials possible by agreement with purchaser.
- Coating and surface treatments referenced to ISO 4042 (electroplating), ISO 10683 (zinc flake), ISO 9717 (phosphate), with workmanship requirements (free of burrs, defects).
- Inspection and labelling:
- Acceptance inspection per ISO 3269; package labelling must include reference to ISO 8746, nominal diameter and length, CH option if applicable, and material symbol (e.g., St).
Applications - who uses this standard
- Design and manufacturing engineers specifying locking pins in mechanical assemblies.
- Fastener manufacturers producing grooved pins to standardized dimensions and finishes.
- Procurement and quality inspectors checking conformity, labelling and acceptance criteria.
- Typical applications include mechanical assemblies where reliable, easy-to-install locking elements with high pull‑out resistance are required (general manufacturing, machinery, automotive and equipment assemblies).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8746:1997) which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— terms and definitions, principles for grooved pins and assembly (including hole dimensions), control of
the expanded diameter d and pin straightness, mechanical and physical properties (including shear
resistance and hardness) and inspection which are common for all grooved pins (product standards
ISO 8739 to ISO 8747, ISO 13670 and ISO 13672) have been specified in the new reference sta
