Hexagon Head Bolts are widely used fastening components in construction, engineering, automobile manufacturing, machinery, fabrication, industrial equipment and structural applications<\/strong>. Their six-sided head allows tightening with a suitable wrench or socket, making them suitable for applications where a reliable and secure mechanical connection is required.<\/p>\n IS 1363 (Part 1):2023<\/strong> specifies requirements for Hexagon Head Bolts in the size range M5 to M64<\/strong>, belonging to Product Grade C. The current standard is the sixth revision and is aligned with ISO 4016:2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n BIS currently lists this product under the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners<\/strong> category in its Scheme-I product certification framework. The applicable regulatory framework includes the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023<\/strong>, as amended\/supplemented by the 2024 Order.<\/p>\n For manufacturers of Hexagon Head Bolts, understanding the standard, product grouping, testing requirements and BIS application process is therefore important before applying for a BIS licence.<\/p>\n A Hexagon Head Bolt is a mechanical fastening component with a six-sided head and an externally threaded shank<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The hexagonal head provides a convenient surface for applying torque with:<\/p>\n Hexagon Head Bolts are available in different:<\/p>\n IS 1363 (Part 1):2023 specifically covers M5 to M64<\/strong> Hexagon Head Bolts of Product Grade C.<\/p>\n IS 1363 (Part 1):2023<\/strong> is titled:<\/p>\n Hexagon Head Bolts, Screws and Nuts of Product Grade C \u2013 Part 1 Hexagon Head Bolts (Size Range M5 to M64).<\/strong><\/p>\n The standard specifies the characteristics and requirements for Hexagon Head Bolts made from steel, having metric coarse-pitch threads from M5 through M64<\/strong> and Product Grade C.<\/p>\n The current BIS Product Manual identifies:<\/p>\n The standard covers:<\/p>\n M5 to M64<\/strong><\/p>\n This means manufacturers producing Hexagon Head Bolts within this metric coarse-thread size range can seek certification according to the applicable requirements and licence scope.<\/p>\n The exact sizes included in a manufacturer’s licence depend on the applicable product grouping and the manufacturer’s approved scope.<\/p>\n IS 1363 (Part 1):2023 covers:<\/p>\n Product Grade C<\/strong><\/p>\n Grade C is intended for general-purpose fastening applications where the dimensional and performance requirements specified by the standard are applicable.<\/p>\n The manufacturer should clearly define the applicable product grade and property class while preparing the product documentation.<\/p>\n BIS Certification confirms that the manufacturer’s product has been assessed against the applicable Indian Standard.<\/p>\n IS 1363 (Part 1) is currently included by BIS under Scheme-I<\/strong> in the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners<\/strong> category. BIS’s current listing identifies the product as Hexagon Head Bolts, Size Range M5 to M64<\/strong> and links it to the applicable Quality Control Orders.<\/p>\n The certification process generally involves:<\/p>\n After certification, the manufacturer must use the BIS Standard Mark in accordance with the licence conditions.<\/p>\n Hexagon Head Bolts under IS 1363 (Part 1) fall within the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners<\/strong> regulatory framework.<\/p>\n BIS’s current Scheme-I listing identifies IS 1363 (Part 1):2019<\/strong> in the applicable product list and associates it with the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners (Quality Control) Order, 2023<\/strong> and 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The current Indian Standard has subsequently been revised to IS 1363 (Part 1):2023<\/strong>.
