Overview - EN 6069:2022 (Aerospace rivet standard)

EN 6069:2022 is a CEN aerospace standard that specifies the dimensions, tolerances and mass of solid rivets with a 100° reduced flush head, close tolerance, inch series, for aerospace applications. The document defines rivet configuration, dimensional tables, oversize options (for repair), material/finish options and marking/identification rules. It is intended for use where flush, low‑profile fastening and precision fit are required in aircraft and aerospace structures.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and configuration: exact head and shank geometry (see figure references) and maximum angular misalignment (0.5°). Measurement of head characteristics follows NAS9800 methods.
• Dimensions & masses: tabulated nominal diameters, head/shank dimensions, length codes and masses (inch-series length coding, with options in 1/16" and 1/32" increments).
• Oversize rivets: defined dimensions/tolerances for oversize diameter codes (repair use).
• Materials: approved alloys include aluminium alloys (EN 2115, EN 2116, EN 2117, EN 3115), titanium alloy 44.5 Cb (SAE AMS 4982), and heat‑resisting nickel NI‑PD9001 (NiCu31) (EN 4372).
• Surface treatments / finishes: anodizing (MIL‑A‑8625 / ISO 8080), yellow chromate/chemical conversion (MIL‑DTL‑5541 / MIL‑A‑8625 references) and finish codes are specified in material/finish tables.
• Mechanical specification: NI‑PD9001 rivets referenced to EN 2941 with stated shear strength range (340–407 MPa); legacy maximums noted for stock use.
• Marking & identification: material and manufacturer identification embossed/indented on heads (EN 2424 style) and oversize rivets identified by a triangular mark on the shank end.
• Quality & conformity: manufacturers must operate an approved aerospace production organization and maintain an aerospace quality management system (e.g., EN 9100). Qualification procedures (EN 9133 or equivalent) apply.

Practical applications

• Use EN 6069 rivets where aerodynamic flush surfaces and high‑precision fit are required: wings, control surfaces, fairings, and structural assemblies.
• Ideal for new designs using inch-series fasteners or maintenance/repair where oversize rivets are needed.
• Ensures compatibility across suppliers and traceability for critical aerospace fastening.

Who uses this standard

• Aerospace design and stress engineers specifying fasteners
• Fastener manufacturers and distributors
• Quality managers and procurement in OEMs and MRO organizations
• Inspection and assembly teams verifying head geometry, marking and finishes

Related standards

• EN 6080, EN 6081, EN 6101 (other rivet head types)
• EN 2115 / EN 2116 / EN 2117 / EN 3115 / EN 4372 (wire material references)
