Overview

SIST EN ISO 15977:2003 is an international standard developed by CEN and ISO/TC 2 (Fasteners) that specifies the dimensional and mechanical characteristics of open end blind rivets. These rivets feature a break pull mandrel with a protruding head and are composed of an aluminium alloy body (AlA) combined with a steel mandrel (St). The standard covers nominal diameters ranging from 2.4 mm up to 6.4 mm inclusive.

This standard ensures uniformity and reliability in the manufacturing and application of these blind rivets, commonly used in fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the assembly. SIST EN ISO 15977:2003 includes detailed specifications on rivet dimensions, mechanical properties, material requirements, and relevant testing procedures.

Key Topics

• Rivet Dimensions
  The standard provides precise max/min dimensions for rivet body and mandrel, including diameter, head size, length, and grip ranges. The diameter (nominal) spans from 2.4 mm to 6.4 mm with detailed tolerances for manufacturing consistency.

• Material Composition
  Rivet bodies are made from aluminium alloy (AlA) to offer lightweight strength and corrosion resistance, while mandrels are manufactured from steel (St) for durability during installation.

• Mechanical Properties
  Two strength classes are defined for the rivet body:

  • Class L (Low strength)
  • Class H (High strength)
    The standard specifies minimum shear load, tensile load, and maximum mandrel break load values under ISO 14589 testing conditions.

• Clearance Holes
  Recommended clearance hole diameters for the components to be joined facilitate easy installation and ensure mechanical integrity without compromising load capacities.

• Mandrel Performance
  Mandrel push-out resistance and head retention capabilities are detailed to guarantee performance under operational loads.

• Workmanship and Acceptance
  The standard ensures rivets are free from burrs and defects with tolerances on head and shank formation. Acceptance testing follows ISO 3269 guidelines.

Applications

SIST EN ISO 15977:2003 open end blind rivets are widely utilized in industries requiring strong, reliable fastening from one-sided access, such as:

• Automotive manufacturing and assembly
• Aerospace component fastening
• Shipbuilding and marine equipment
• Electrical enclosures and panel assembly
• Construction and structural applications
• HVAC and appliance manufacturing

The combination of aluminium alloy bodies and steel mandrels provides an optimal balance of strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance, suitable for multiple material types and varying thicknesses. These rivets are ideal for applications where speed, ease of installation, and mechanical reliability are critical.

Related Standards

• ISO 14588:2000 – Blind rivets: Terminology and definitions
• ISO 14589:2000 – Blind rivets: Mechanical testing
• ISO 3269:2000 – Fasteners: Acceptance inspection
• EN ISO 15977 national adoptions – Including Slovene (SIST), German, French versions

These related standards provide foundational terminology, testing methods, and quality inspection protocols to complement SIST EN ISO 15977:2003, ensuring comprehensive quality and consistency in fastener 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.
