DIN defines the size of things.  Say a bolt with  a certain DIN number 
standard will be so many milimeters long, have a certain number of thread 
pitch per mm.

I don't know for sure, but suspect that it does not mean the bolt will be so 
strong or hardened unless aditional informationis added.

Not that familiar with metric standards, but lets use an American bolt as an 
example.  If you want a 1/4-20 bolt then it will be 1/4 inch in diameter and 
have 20 threads per inch.  It may or may not be hardened, made of 
steel,aluminum or any thing else unless specified.
