BS ISO 13469:2014

This standard BS ISO 13469:2014 Mechanical joining. Form-fit blind rivets and (lock) bolt joints. Specifications and qualification of testing procedures is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.160.10 Welding processes
• 25.160.40 Welded joints and welds

This International Standard specifies the requirements for the testing procedures for
interference-fit/form-fit blind rivet joints and lock bolt joints made of metallic
and non-metallic materials.

The tests required for a particular joint depend upon the performance requirements of the component/assembly and shall be established before any testing is undertaken.

The term sheet as used in this International Standard includes extrusions, cast material, plastics, and fibre-reinforced plastics, e. g. carbon and glass fibre-reinforced plastics.

NOTE Specific service, material, or manufacturing conditions can require more comprehensive testing than specified in this International Standard. Such tests can include macro and micro sections, fatigue, and/or endurance tests.

This International Standard does not apply to civil engineering applications such as metal building and steel construction which are covered by other applicable International Standards.
