NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 7046-2:1990 ‘Cross recessed
countersunk flat head screws (common head style) — Grade A — Part 2: Steel of property ctass 8.8,
stainless steel and non-ferrous metals’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Bolts, Nuts and
Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Instruments, General and
Production Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally issued in 1974 and revised in 1985. The earlier edition was based on ISO
7046:1983 ‘Cross-recessed countersunk flat head screws (common head style) — Product grade A
and property class 4.8 only’. This second revision has been revised splitting into two parts harmonizing
with ISO 7046-1 :1994 and ISO 7046-2:1990 by adopting them.

Part 1 of this standard covers the screws for steel of property class 4.8.

Part 2 has been harmonized with ISO 7046-2:1990 by adoption to make pace with the latest developments
taken place at international level.

The text of the ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard
without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in
Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should
be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards
also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their places are listed
below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

in this adopted standard and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this
standard:

As decided by the Committee additional requirements of Packaging and BIS Certifbation Marking are
given in National Annex A. These additional requirements are part of this standard.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised’. The number of significant pl~es
retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
