Overview

EN 10230-1:1999 - Steel wire nails - Part 1: Loose nails for general applications (CEN) defines requirements for loose steel wire nails intended for general-purpose use. The standard specifies the preferred form and dimensions, tolerances on dimensions, and surface coating expectations for loose steel wire nails. This makes EN 10230-1 a reference for consistent product specification, manufacturing and procurement of steel wire nails across Europe.

Key topics and technical requirements

The standard focuses on practical, dimension-related requirements rather than performance testing or material chemistry. Main technical topics include:

  • Preferred form and dimensions - standardized shapes and nominal sizes to ensure interchangeability and consistent fit in common applications.
  • Dimensional tolerances - allowable deviations from nominal dimensions to control quality and ensure compatibility with nail-setting equipment and fastener applications.
  • Surface coating requirements - acceptable types or conditions of surface finish/coating for corrosion protection and handling, as applicable for general applications.
  • Scope limitation - applies to loose (uncollected) steel wire nails intended for general use; it does not extend to specialized or collated fasteners unless otherwise stated in related documents.

(Notes: EN 10230-1 sets geometric and coating requirements; specific mechanical properties, test methods, or material grades are not detailed in the provided scope.)

Practical applications

EN 10230-1 is relevant wherever loose steel wire nails are specified, sold or used:

  • Manufacturers - to design production lines and quality controls that meet standardized sizes and coatings.
  • Distributors and traders - to list and verify product conformity when supplying loose nails for general-purpose markets.
  • Buyers and procurement teams - to write clear specifications in purchase orders, ensuring supplied nails meet expected dimensions and finishes.
  • Carpenters, joiners and construction contractors - to select compatible loose nails for general wood and building applications where standard sizing and coatings matter.
  • Quality assurance and inspection - to assess dimensional conformity and surface coating against recognized European requirements.

Related standards

For complete specification and application context, users commonly consult other CEN/EN standards covering fasteners, wire products and specialized nails. When precise mechanical properties, collated nails, or performance testing are required, refer to additional EN standards covering those topics.
