Standards note: This is a selected reference set, not an exhaustive compliance list. Verify the current edition, jurisdictional adoption and project / OEM requirements before use.

Additional note: Many sub-M1.6 microfasteners, proprietary inserts and semiconductor-tool interfaces are governed by manufacturer or customer specifications rather than a single universal fastener standard. ISO 14644-1:2015 remains published but is under systematic review as of 2026.
