This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2009.

EN 15048-1:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Rules for design and execution of bolted connections with non-preloaded low strength or high-strength structural bolts respectively are defined for instance in EN 1993-1-8 (Eurocode 3) and prEN 1090-2. The parts of this European Standard on structural bolting specify the general requirements which ensure that bolt/nut/washer assemblies are suitable for use in non preloaded structural bolting. They can be used in shear con-nections and/or in tension connections if no preload is required. Structural fasteners which meet the requirements of this part of this European Standard have been designed to allow tensile loading of at least fub × As as defined in EN 1993-1-8. Structural fasteners which meet the requirements of EN 14399-1 are suitable for use in preloaded and non-preloaded structural bolting. This European Standard deals with structural fasteners which are intended for use as non-preloaded assemblies. Since the tensile resistance of bolt/nut assemblies is very sensitive to differences in manufacture, it is important that the assemblies are supplied by one manufacturer who is always responsible for the function of the assembly. For the same reason it is important that coating of the assemblies is under the control of one manufacturer. Beside the mechanical properties of the components the functionality of the assembly requires that the required tensile resistance is achieved. For this purpose the tensile test of assemblies is a means to check whether the func-tion of the assembly is fulfilled. SIST EN 15048-1:2007

Durability Finish and coating of assemblies shall be in accordance with 4.2.5. A surface coating can be used to enhance the inherent durability of assemblies against corrosion, if required. This durability can be achieved either by applying a specified coating, or as part of the durability of the structure in which the assemblies are used. NOTE prEN 1090-2 gives information about EN and ISO standards for durability of structures against corrosion, protective coatings and method of application. The mechanical durability of assemblies shall be assured for a reasonable economic working life if the assembly complies with the requirements of this standard and is used in accordance with the manufacturer's specification for tightening. 5 Testing for conformity evaluation 5.1 Testing for dangerous substances Release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substances in the materials used. 5.2 Testing of dimensional requirements of the components The tolerances of critical dimensions of the components shall be checked by standard gauges or measuring equipment of the required accuracy as given in Tables 9 to 11.

5.5 Acceptance criteria All fasteners tested for conformity evaluation shall pass the tests to be in conformance with this standard. 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1
General The conformity of the components and assemblies to the requirements of this standard and with the stated values shall be demonstrated by: a) initial type testing; b) factory production control by the manufacturer, including product assessment. For the purposes of testing, the products may be grouped into families, where it is considered that the selected properties are common to all the products within that family. 6.2 Initial type testing 6.2.1 General An initial type test is the complete set of tests or other procedures, determining the performance of samples of products representative of the product type. Initial type testing shall be performed to show conformity with this standard on first use of this standard for products being put onto the market and: a) at the beginning of the production of a new or modified assembly design, raw material or source or supplier of the raw material or the components insofar as such a change would affect the declared performance charac-teristics; b) at the beginning of a new or modified method of production. In case of type testing on products for which initial type testing in accordance with this standard was already per-formed, type testing may be reduced: c) if it has been established that the performance characteristics compared with the already tested products have not been affected, or d) in accordance with the rules for grouping and/or direct application or application by extrapolation of test results.

EN 15048-1:2007 (E) 16 Assemblies CE marked in accordance with appropriate harmonised European specifications may be presumed to have the performance stated with the CE marking, although this does not replace the responsibility of the assembly manufacturer to ensure that the assembly is correctly designed and its components have the necessary perform-ance values to meet the design. 6.2.2 Characteristics All characteristics in 4.4 shall be subject to initial type testing, with the following exception: release of dangerous substances may be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance con-cerned. 6.2.3 Use of historical data Tests previously performed on the same products in accordance with the provisions of this standard (same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. 6.2.4 Treatment of calculated values and design In some cases, the manufacturer may produce products in accordance with a design and/or calculations provided by a third party. In this case, verification will not be of the design or calculations themselves, but only on the fact that the products conform to the assumptions of the design and/or calculations. 6.2.5 Sampling, testing and conformity criteria 6.2.5.1 Sampling Initial type testing shall be performed on samples of products representative for the manufactured product type. 6.2.5.2 Testing and conformity criteria The number of bolts, nuts and washers and assemblies to be tested shall be in accordance with Table 16.
