Property classes
In metric bolts, strength is described
by “property classes.” A property class
designation consists of two numbers
separated by a decimal point. There are
nine commonly encountered: 4.6, 4.8, 5.8,
8.8, 9.8, 10.9 and 12.9. In the United
States, property classes 8.8.3 and 10.9.3
are also defined; the final “3” indicates the
fastener is made of weathering steel.
markings
Hex head bolts M5 and larger must
have the property class marked on the
head of the bolt, either in raised or
depressed lettering. Fasteners smaller
than M5, and those with slotted or
recessed heads, whatever their diameter,
need not be marked. Radial lines, such
those used to mark SAE grades, are never
used on metric bolts.
