Fastener Specifications & Terminology will address these questions while providing progress toward CFS eligibility. In this course, attendees learn about the consensus standards of organizations that govern the fastener industry and receive a thorough grounding in the terms and definitions used in fastener specifications. Participants study specifications and learn how to identify and meet customer and industry requirements. CURRICULUM INCLUDES • Consensus standards organizations (ASTM, SAE, ANSI, IFI, ISO, ASME and more) • Terms and definitions used in fastener specifications • The ability to identify and meet customer and industry requirements • Actual specification studies WHO SHOULD ATTEND One-day CFS classes are best for those wanting to spread out training rather than completing an accelerated format through Fastener Training Week.
