WHAT DOES THE LIBRARY HOLD?

The Library has extensive, though imperfect, holdings of ISO Standards from 1973 to 2015.

ISO CATALOGUE

The online ISO Catalogue lists the titles and numbers of all published ISO Standards.

The Library holds a print version of the ISO Catalogue (1971-2009).

STANDARDS AND COPYING

Copying of standards by our Copies Direct service is provided in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. 

Visit the National Library in person to request and view standards in the Main Reading Room. 

ISO standards are available for interlibrary loan. Enquire at your local library.

How do you request a printed ISO standard in the Catalogue?

If you do not know the number of the standard:

Case Study

Accessing a specific ISO standard

How can I access the following standard? ISO/TS 24155:2007 Hydrometry - Hydrometric data transmission systems - Specification of system requirement

There are three options for access:

  • If you can visit the Library in person, we suggest that you submit an online request to view a printed copy of the standard. Please note that the Library's collection of International Standards is imperfect, so we may not have the standard you need. Use the Catalogue record for International standards to make your request (see above). 

  • If you can't visit the Library, you may be able to arrange an interlibrary loan through your local public or institutional library and have the standard sent there for you to use. Please ask staff at your library for further assistance with interlibrary loan requests.

ISO STANDARDS ONLINE

Search the ISO Catalogue and purchase ISO Standards online at the ISO Store or at the SAI Global Infostore.
