Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee FME/9 to provide
part of a series of standards on requirements for coatings on metals fasteners.
BS 7371-6:1998+A1:2011 supersedes BS 7371-6:1998, which is withdrawn.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by Amendment No. 1 is
indicated in the text by tags !" . Minor editorial changes are not tagged.
WARNING. This British Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures
that may be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to
technical suitability and in no way absolves the supplier or the user from statutory
obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of manufacture or use.
Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal
obligations.

1 Scope
This Part of BS 7371 specifies requirements for hot
dip galvanized coatings on metal fasteners and
accessories applied by immersion in molten zinc.
NOTE 1. Hydrogen embrittlement is not induced as a result of this
galvanizing process.
1) All other Parts of BS 7371 should be read in conjunction with this Part.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this Part of BS 7371 the following
definitions apply together with those given in
BS 7371 : Part 1.
3.1 hot dip galvanizing
The formation of a coating of zinc and/or zinc/iron
alloys on ferrous products by dipping them into
molten zinc.
3.2 hot dip galvanized coating
A coating consisting of zinc/iron alloys usually
covered by a zinc topcoat obtained by hot dip
galvanizing.
NOTE. The term hot dip galvanized coating is subsequently
referred to as the `coating'.
5 Coating
5.1 Surface condition
The coating shall be clean, dry and of a uniform
appearance. All surfaces of a component shall be
coated unless otherwise specified. When examined
for appearance the significant surfaces shall be
smooth, free from staining and defects such as an
uncoated area.
5.2 Coating thickness
The minimum average local coating thickness shall
be as shown in table 1 when measured in accordance
with annex A.
In cases of dispute clause A.2 shall be taken as the
referee method.
NOTE. Other coating thicknesses may be applied but they are
outside the scope of the standard and should be agreed between
supplier and user.

6 Post treatments
Where specified post treatments shall be applied to
the coating they shall be fully documented (see 8c).
NOTE. These treatments may be in the form of a chromate,
passivation, lubricant, oil etc., however in the majority of uses the
application of a post treatment will be unnecessary.
7 Thread gauging
7.1 Gauging after coating for threaded
fasteners or components
Due to the thickness of coating applied during the
galvanizing process it is not possible to gauge the
threaded fasteners with standard thread gauges.
9 Identification
The coating shall be identified by the number and
date of this British Standard, i.e. BS 7371 :
Part 6 : 19982) ZnG.
A lubricated condition shall be designated by the
letter L after the designation (see 4.2).
Example
A hot dipped galvanized coating of average local
thickness !50 mm" with added lubricant shall be
identified as BS 7371 : Part 6 : 1998 ZnGL.

2) Marking BS 7371 : Part 6 : 1998 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturer's declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or
on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is solely the
claimant's responsibility. Such a declaration is not to be confused with third party certidication which may also be desired.
