This document specifies a tightening test to verify the suitability of high strength bolt/nut/washer assemblies for preloaded
bolted connection in metallic structures.
The purpose of this test is to check the behaviour of the fastener assembly so as to ensure that the required preload
can be reliably obtained by the tightening methods specified in ENV 1090-1 with sufficient margins against
over tightening and against failure.
