Note 1: For nominal diameter: The diameter measured at point I shall be less than or equal to the max. diameter
TD for nominal diameter.
For over sizes diameters: Maximum diameter at point I shall be incremented by .0156, .0312 and .0625

Note 2: Check concentricity of diameters D (shank) and TD (thread) to avoid interference between the bolt thread
and hole when using tight interference fits.
Note 3: The maximum thread run-out and functionality for first and second over sizes is incremented by 0,25 mm
and 0,5 mm for third oversize.
Note 4: A. Only for B coded fasteners, threads shall be coated with aluminium coating as per EN4473.
B. Only for B coded fasteners, overspray of aluminium coating as per EN4473 is permissible in this area.
Note 5: Valid for hexagonal recess.
