   No one in particular. Am having a friendly disagreement with a friend about   
   what a DIN number means. Does it define things like material, tolerance,   
   finish and hardness or does it include size, thread, etc? In other words,   
   does the DIN number define a particular, specific fastener (including   
   dimension) or only the standards to which that fastener is measured against?   
      
   I always related DINs to the US MILSPEC standards which generally are   
   standards, not product definitions.
