Overview
ISO 1891-2:2014/Amd 1:2020 is an ISO amendment to Part 2 of the ISO 1891 series - the vocabulary and definitions dealing with coatings for fasteners. Prepared by ISO/TC 2 (Fasteners) SC 14 in cooperation with CEN/TC 185, this amendment issues editorial and terminology clarifications to the original 2014 document. It refines key term presentation (for example changing “finish” and “coating” to “finish - coating”) and updates wording in notes (e.g., replacing “usually carried with” with “typically performed with”). The amendment helps ensure consistent use of coating-related terms across international fastener standards and technical documents.
Key Topics
- Terminology for surface coatings used on fasteners (vocabulary and definitions rather than test methods or performance limits).
- Editorial clarifications and corrections to Part 2 entries (as introduced by Amendment 1, 2020).
- Alignment and harmonization between ISO and CEN terminology development (Vienna Agreement collaboration).
- Maintenance and referencing guidance for users of the ISO 1891 series (lists available via ISO).
Note: ISO 1891-2 is a vocabulary standard - it does not set coating performance requirements or procedures; it standardizes language to reduce ambiguity.
Applications
- Creating clear technical specifications and procurement documents that reference coating types and finishes for bolts, screws, nuts and other fasteners.
- Writing test reports, inspection criteria, datasheets and quality manuals where precise coating terminology is required.
- Harmonizing documentation between manufacturers, coating suppliers and OEMs to avoid misinterpretation of terms.
- Supporting standards development and conformity assessment by providing a consistent lexical base for surface-coating related clauses.
Who Should Use This Standard
- Fastener manufacturers and supply chain quality teams
- Coating suppliers and surface-treatment specialists
- Design and procurement engineers specifying coated fasteners
- Testing and inspection laboratories preparing reports or interpreting specifications
- Standards committees and technical writers producing related standards or product literature
