General

This annex contains additional information for the manufacture of hexagon nuts outside Germanny.

Owing to varying approving procedures, production methods, materials etc. the details given in this standard on hexagon nuts are not always sufficient for manufacture abroad. For instance, materials are used which may well ensure the required characteristics for a standard part in its final state, but which are not listed as equivalent material in the corresponding data sheet of the German Aviation Materials Manual, Part I.

The foreign materials listed in DIN 29895 are approved by the responsible qualification authorities of the individual countries as equivalent to the German material.

The surface treatment required in clause A.3 is equivalent to that called for by LN 9368 part 1 and Part 5.

Differences in appearance due to varying manufacturing methods do not affect the performance and inter-changeability provided the dimensions given in the table are adhered to.
