DIN 985 is standard issued by the DIN in Germany.
In this case it is for a simple nut found here.
This is a follow up to this question from bicycles.
I Googled DIN 985 but found nothing comprehensible.
These nuts and bolts are to secure aluminum so I tagged this aluminum but if there is a better tag please edit.

DIN 985 appears to be the old name for what is now called ISO 7040 Which describes hex nuts with a nonmetallic insert, stating their dimensions etc.
If there a likelyhood of exposure to dampness I would reccomend using aluminium or stainless steel fasteners.
