Currently, Holding Down Bolts doesn’t fall into Construction Product Regulation (CPR) standards and they cannot be CE (UKCA) Marked. Holding Down Bolts are manufactured per BS 7419 ](/standards/bs-7419-holding-bolts-basic-dimensions) (British Standard). This standard is not a harmonised standard like EN/ISO, which will allow them to be CE (UKCA) marked . More about this can be read in BCSA memorandum No 17-14**](/downloads/news/2014/Holding-Down-Bolts-and-CE-marking.pdf).

To accommodate the thickness of zinc it is normal practice to over-tap the nut thread. This operation reduces the strength of the nut and the overall strength of the nut and bolt assembly. To improve the strength of the assembly manufacturers use either a thicker nut (increasing the number of threads between the nut and the bolt in the assembly) or a higher-grade nut. BS EN 15048-1: To achieve full tensile resistance, hot-dip galvanized assemblies can require special measures, see EN ISO 10684, Annex F.
