1. Introduction
BS 4395 (Specification for high strength friction grip bolts and associated nuts and washers for structural engineering) has been replaced by BS EN 14399 (High strength structural bolting assemblies for preloading). BS 4395 has three parts and BS EN 14399 has six parts (with a further three parts to be released) Standard BS EN 14399 PT 1 BS EN 14399 PT 2 BS EN 14399 PT 3 BS EN 14399 PT 4 BS EN 14399 PT 5 BS EN 14399 PT 6 pr EN 14399 PT 7 pr EN 14399 PT 8 pr EN 14399 PT 9 Description General requirements Suitability test for preloading System HR.

We at Andrews Fasteners believe that where previously products were ordered to BS 4395 Part One (Bolt, Nut and Hard Flat Washer) they should now be ordered to BS EN 14399 Part Three (HR 8.8) for the Bolts and Nuts and BS EN 14399 Part Six for the washer. The following pages outline the general differences between the two different series of standards in terms of dimensions and mechanical properties in relation to BS 4395 Part One and BS EN 14399 Parts 3 and 6. If further information is required then please contact our technical department at Andrews. The specification BS EN 14399 is shown on a BLUE background and for BS 4395 PT1 on a GREY background (as shown below). BS EN 14399 = NO REQUIREMENT BS 4395-1:1969 (SIZE IN BRACKETS) = NON PREFERRED SIZES ALL FIGURES ARE IN MILLIMETRES
