Overview
EN ISO 15978:2002 specifies dimensional and mechanical characteristics and application data for open end blind rivets with break pull mandrel and countersunk head with an aluminium-alloy (AlA) body and a steel (St) mandrel. The standard covers nominal diameters from 2.4 mm up to and including 5 mm and defines material, workmanship and acceptance requirements to ensure consistent performance and interchangeability in sheet-fastening applications.
Key Topics
- Materials and finishes: rivet body made of aluminium alloy (AlA); mandrel made of steel (St). Rivet bodies are supplied in a plain (natural) finish; mandrel surface finish is at manufacturer’s discretion (oil, phosphate+oil or zinc coating).
- Dimensions and tolerances: nominal diameters d = 2.4, 3, 3.2, 4, 4.8 and 5 mm with associated head and shank dimensions. Clearance hole diameter dh1 is specified (dh1 min = dnom + 0.1 mm; dh1 max = dnom + 0.2 mm) to avoid assembly issues and preserve load performance.
- Mechanical properties: two strength grades for the rivet body (Class L and Class H) with minimum shear and tensile loads defined and maximum mandrel break loads specified; mechanical testing is carried out in accordance with ISO 14589.
- Mandrel behaviour: mandrel push-out resistance must exceed 10 N (ISO 14589). Mandrel head retention capability is verified by specified test loads so the mandrel portion remaining in the set rivet is retained.
- Workmanship and inspection: rivets shall be free from burrs and harmful defects; after setting there shall be no cracking visible at 5× magnification. Acceptance inspection follows ISO 3269 unless otherwise agreed.
- Designation example: Blind rivet ISO 15978 - 4×12 - AlA/St - L (4 mm diameter, 12 mm length, aluminium body/steel mandrel, class L).
Applications
EN ISO 15978 rivets are intended for blind fastening where access is available from one side only and a countersunk head is required for a flush finish. Typical advantages and applications include:
- Reliable sheet fastening in automotive, appliance and general metal fabrication where lightweight aluminium rivet bodies and strong steel mandrels are required.
- Interchangeability across suppliers due to standardized dimensions and grip ranges.
- Quality assurance through defined mechanical test methods and acceptance criteria (ISO 14589, ISO 3269).

For engineers, purchasers and QA teams, EN ISO 15978:2002 provides the dimensional data, test methods and acceptance limits necessary to specify and validate open end blind rivets (AIA/St) for consistent, high-quality blind fastening solutions.

ISO 15978:2002(E) © ISO 2002 – All rights reserved iii 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
