Hmmm, this is going askew fast. This is nothing more than a simple "DESCRIPTION" or "TITLE" question. In which case, this falls under ASME Y14.100. First, say what it is, then add modifiers that provide more detail in the order of importance. It helps to read it backwards. Commas are important, but I understand why some have issues with them during the translation process.
It's plated alloy steel 8mm long M3X1.5 socket head cap screw.
Depending on what information you value, this can be broken down a few different ways (all being correct as long as you maintain this convention thoughout your organzation):
SCREW, SOCKET HEAD CAP, M3 X 1.5, 8mm LONG, ALLOY STEEL, PLATED
SCREW, M3 X 1.5, SOCKET HEAD CAP, 8mm LONG, ALLOW STEEL, PLATED
CAP SCREW, SOCKET HEAD, M3 X 1.5, 8mm LONG, ALLOW STEEL, PLATES
By maintaining a convention, such information can then be searched upon much easier if you sort the BOM. You see all the screws fall out together and sort them in order of what you find most important.
I would put the DIN912 into a separate colume, but if you are tring to mimic another convention where it is in the desc at the front, then simply add it there.
