BZK


Explanation:
I've never been entirely sure what it actually stands for (seems as if it might be a cylinder-head machine screw?), but I do believe the term BZK is kept as is in FR and most other languages.

Note there is also 'BZP' which stands for 'bright zinc plated' — no idea if maybe the 'BZ' part here stands for the same thing (but have also found 'blue zinc'??)

  -> Thanks, J! Well found! I don't think DE was the original lang., so I doubt it would be 'Kopf', probably just some code when they ran out of other letters ;-)
neutral  Christopher Nery (X): You were spot with "Boulon/vis à tête fraisée/hexagonale"...BZK is from the Dutch industry standard abb. for Hexagonal bolt...unrelated to BZP. : http://www.proz.com/kudoz/dutch_to_english/tech_engineering/...

  -> Thanks, J-D! Well, I don't believe this means a hex. bolt when used in EN, since all the BZKs I found were cylinder head; in any event, I stand by my answer: this abbreviation is commonly used even in FR and so could be left as is.
