	What sort of fasteners - woodscrews? Rivets? Nuts and bolts? Safety pins? Duffle-coat toggles? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	In most cases the is no difference. Fastener Manufacturers in most cases produce their product so it is compliant to standards that are set forth by most organization setting standards. Easier to market that way. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	ISO Standards are those issued by the International Standards Organisation, whilst DIN Standards are issued by the German equivalent of British Standards (BS). If a standard is adopted by both of these and by the European Normalisation body, you can tell from the document number which will be in the form: ISO EN BS <number> ISO EN DIN <number> ISO DIN <number> EN DIN <number> and so on. I suggest you follow the previous advice of looking at the standards themselves - you'll probably find that the DIN and ISO standards are the same thing. Far more important is the use to which you're putting them. It's no good using an ISO standard wood fastener in a furnance... The trick with standards is how you apply them - the product you use has to be fit for the purpose to which you intend to use it, not just fit for a purpose. __________________ Chaos always wins because it's better organised.
