For Hex Bolts, ISO 4014 defines dimensions, tolerances and product grades. The sections below describe its scope, what it does NOT cover, and the equivalents across DIN, ISO and ASME.
ISO 4014 — Scope
ISO 4014 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of hex bolts. Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).
Tolerance & Product Grades
ISO 4014, alongside the related ISO 4014 / ISO 4017 entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.

Equivalent Standards
ISO 4014 (partial thread) corresponds closely to DIN 931; the fully-threaded variant ISO 4017 corresponds to DIN 933.
When to Specify ISO 4014
Choose ISO 4014 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for hex bolts.
