1.2 These test methods are intended for use with fasteners that are installed perpendicular to a plane surface of the structural member.

1.3 Tests for combined tension and shear, fatigue, dynamic, and torsional load resistance are not covered.

1.4 The values stated in metric (SI) units are to be regarded as standard. The inch-pound units in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
