Overview
ISO 15976:2002 is an international standard specifying the dimensional, mechanical, and application requirements for closed end blind rivets featuring a break pull mandrel and protruding head made from steel (St/St). It applies to rivets with nominal diameters ranging from 3.2 mm up to 6.4 mm. These blind rivets are designed for reliable fastening where access is only possible from one side of the assembly, providing durable and secure joints in various industries.
The standard ensures consistency and performance by defining critical parameters such as rivet dimensions, material characteristics, mechanical loads, and surface finish. ISO 15976 facilitates interoperability and quality assurance across manufacturing and engineering applications involving steel blind rivets.
Key Topics
Dimensional Specifications
ISO 15976 provides detailed dimensional data for rivet bodies and mandrels, including maximum and minimum diameters, rivet lengths, and head sizes. The standard includes recommended grip ranges to guide correct rivet selection for various material thicknesses. It also specifies the clearance hole diameters necessary for proper rivet installation, emphasizing tolerance limits to avoid assembly issues.Material and Finish Requirements
Both the rivet body and mandrel must be made from steel, with a minimum zinc plating thickness of 5 µm and chromate conversion coating (c2C) as per related ISO standards. These finishes improve corrosion resistance and durability of riveted joints, extending the service life in demanding environments.Mechanical Properties
ISO 15976 defines minimum shear and tensile strength thresholds and sets maximum mandrel break loads to ensure integrity of the riveted joint. These mechanical performance criteria are essential for selecting rivets based on load requirements in applications such as automotive, construction, and industrial equipment.Workmanship and Quality Control
The standard mandates that rivets are free of burrs and defects, with well-formed heads and shanks. Post-installation inspection criteria include checking for no cracking at 5× magnification, maintaining high-quality installation standards.Acceptance Testing and Designation
Compliance with ISO 3269 for acceptance inspection is recommended unless otherwise agreed. A standardized designation format is provided to uniquely identify rivets by type, size, length, and material combination, supporting clear communication and procurement.
Applications
Closed end blind rivets per ISO 15976 are widely used in industries where robust, one-sided fastening is required, including:
Automotive Manufacturing
Fastening body panels, interior assemblies, and structural components requiring strong and corrosion-resistant joints.Aerospace and Transportation
Lightweight and secure fastening solutions where maintenance access is limited.Construction and Metal Fabrication
Joining steel sheets, cladding, and structural parts without access to the rear side.Electronics and Appliances
Securing components in housings while maintaining electrical continuity and mechanical stability.
The steel construction and protective zinc coating make these rivets suitable for moderately corrosive environments and mechanical stress applications.
Related Standards
ISO 15976 references several related ISO standards to provide a comprehensive framework for blind rivet specifications and testing:
- ISO 14588 – Blind rivets terminology and definitions for clear understanding of terms used in the standard.
- ISO 14589 – Mechanical testing methods for blind rivets to verify shear, tensile, and mandrel break loads.
- ISO 3269 – Acceptance inspection procedures ensuring product quality and conformity.
- ISO 4042 – Requirements for electroplated coatings like zinc plating on fasteners.
- ISO 4520 – Chromate conversion coatings on zinc-plated components, enhancing corrosion resistance.
By adhering to ISO 15976 and its referenced standards, manufacturers and users achieve consistency, durability, and compatibility in steel blind rivet applications.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 15976 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners.
Annex A of this International Standard is for information only.

électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 3.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
