Fasteners are used to mechanically attach or connect other hardware items and come in many forms including rivets, nuts, bolts, studs, screws, washers, eyebolts, nails and threaded fasteners. Fastener standards allow hardware product manufacturers, as well as end users of such products, to examine and assess fasteners to ensure their strength and quality for safe use.
