They might not retain the specified mechanical and physical properties at elevated temperatures (see Annex B) and/or lower temperatures. Certain bolts and screws might not fulfil the tensile or torsional requirements of ISO 898-1:2013 because the geometry of their heads reduces the shear area in the head compared to the stress area in the thread. These include bolts and screws having a low or countersunk head.

It is not applicable to set screws and similar threaded fasteners not under tensile stress (see ISO 898-5). It does not specify requirements for such properties as weldability, corrosion resistance resistance to shear stress, torque/clamp force performance (for test method, see ISO 16047), or fatigue resistance.

Fasteners according to ISO 898-5:2012 are classified to specified hardness classes and are intended for use under compressive stress only.

Specifies the conditions for carrying out the tests as well as recommendations for the evaluation of the results. Unless otherwise agreed, the tests are of the fluctuating tension type and are carried out at room temperature. The influence of the compliance of clamped parts on the strain of the fastener is not taken into account. The test results can be influenced by the test conditions. For this reason, minimum requirements are specified to reduce this effect. In addition, calibration and centring control methods for the testing apparatus are included.
