Whether or not Australians accept different standards to the rest of the world is naturally their own affair but to claim that the bolts are being tested to a European standard is just misrepresenting the quality of the bolts. The European standard EN 959 calls for a 8kN pull to be made 10 times in 10 minutes and then pull to failure. This applies in both radial and axial where the minimum allowable failure values are 25kN and 15kN. To claim that a pull of 7,5kN is to a "European standard" is just complete bullshit no matter which way you look at it.
