Overview
ISO 5856:2008 defines the dimensions for a specific family of aerospace screws: 100° normal countersunk head screws with an internal offset cruciform drive (ribbed or unribbed), normal shank, and short or medium MJ threads. Applicable to metallic screws (coated or uncoated) with strength classes ≤ 1 100 MPa, this International Standard supports the compilation of aerospace product standards and replaces the 1991 edition.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Head and drive: 100° normal countersunk head with internal offset cruciform drive; options include ribbed or unribbed drives.
- Thread form: Short or medium length MJ threads (metric aerospace thread form) specified for bolts and screws.
- Shank tolerances: Covers close or large tolerance normal shank dimensions; specifies max/min diameters and tolerances.
- Material and finish: Applies to metallic materials, whether coated or uncoated; dimensions and tolerances are given after coating (with some pre-coating shank tolerances specified for heat-cured matrix coatings).
- Strength classes: Intended for fasteners with tensile strength classes up to 1 100 MPa.
- Units and tolerancing: All dimensions and tolerances in millimetres. Tolerances of form and position default to ISO 7913 unless otherwise stated.
- Applicability: Intended for use in aerospace product standards; details of form not stated are left to the manufacturer’s discretion.
- Reference standards: Normative cross-references include ISO 286-2 (limits & fits), ISO 3353-1 (rolled external threads), ISO 5855-2 (MJ threads limits), ISO 7913 (form/position tolerances), and ISO 14275/14276 (internal offset cruciform drives).
Applications and users
ISO 5856:2008 is practical for:
- Aerospace designers and engineers specifying countersunk fasteners for structural and interior applications.
- Fastener manufacturers producing aerospace screws to defined dimensional criteria.
- Quality, inspection, and metrology teams verifying screw dimensions, tolerances, and coating allowances.
- Procurement and supply chain professionals ensuring purchased fasteners conform to aerospace product standards.
- Standards committees compiling component-level aerospace specifications.
Typical applications include flush-mounted countersunk fastenings in airframes, interiors, assemblies where low-profile heads and controlled thread/shank geometry are critical.

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 2.
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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5856 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee SC 4,
Aerospace fastener systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5856:1991), which has been technically revised.
