What’s in the White Paper
From risk assessment of individual bolted joints to MFU and PFU, all the way to documentation that remains valid even years later. Not a product brochure, but a working guide.
The Legal Framework
Why a non-statutory guideline becomes the standard in the event of damages.
The Three Categories of Fastening Applications
How to evaluate each bolted joint and what minimum requirements result from this.
From Category to Tool
Two questions determine the tool class and the testing effort. Both are covered in the white paper.
MFU and PFU at a Glance
What these two inspections entail, what inspection intervals have become standard practice, and how to justify a deviation.
The Typical Gaps
Why testing organizations fail in practice—from siloed solutions to vendor lock-in.
Checklist and Steps to Follow
