This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for materials, geometry, strength,
stiffness and durability ascpects (i.e. corrosion protection) of dowel-type fasteners for use in load bearing
timber structures.
Only dowel-type fasteners manufactured from steel are covered by this European Standard. For the purpose
of this standard, dowel-type fasteners for timber structures are taken to be nails, staples, screws, dowels, and
