Torx screws as per non existing ISO 14581

Hello folks,

there is no standard ISO 14581 in online databases like global.ihs.com or similar. Also you cannot find this standard or a draft or project with this number on iso.org .

But if you make a Google search for "ISO 14581" then you will find several suppliers of fasteners which offers countersunk screws with hexalobular drive (Torx) according to just this ISO standard.

Does anyone know what happens here? Was there a plan or draft for an ISO

14581? Is there a text anywhere out there?

Why suppliers offer screws according to a non existing standard? I think they should have been helt a specification about them in their hands. Or do they all copy all nonsense each from another without verification?

(BTW: There are some ISO standards about Torx screws in the same number range for some years, i.g. ISO 14583.)
