Simple Search– enter the Standard number or keyword in the Search field at the top of the page. You can also search by Category or Publisher.
Browse by Category– Click Browse Categories at the top of the page and then select Standards.
To narrow your search results, use the filters on the left hand side of the Search Results page. The options available include Publisher, Publication Status and Category.
Pricing information can be viewed on the Product Details page. Select the product you are interested in on the Search Results page to see all available format options and pricing. Applicable VAT and Shipping charges are calculated during checkout.
Some Standards are available in PDF format at no cost. To access these standards, search for the applicable title, then proceed as if you were to buy the product, and it can be obtained free of charge.

When you purchase a pdf document from us, it will come watermarked with the name of the person who purchased the standard, and the download date on each page of the publication (in the left margin). It shows that you are the rightful licensee of that
publication. This process helps us to protect the copyright on standards and gives some control over the level of distribution of the documents

Current
The latest, up-to-date edition.
Available Superseded
An Available Superseded Standard is one, which has been made available for a period of time although it has been formally superseded by another Standard. Its availability is maintained where it is referenced in legislation/regulations or in other
Standards and its use should be restricted to where so referenced. No responsibility is taken by SAI Global as to the ongoing technical validity of such a Standard, the responsibility resting with the referencing authority.
Superseded
A superseded Standard is one, which is fully replaced by another Standard, which is a new edition of the same Standard.
Withdrawn
A Withdrawn Standard is one, which is removed from sale, and its unique number can no longer be used. The Standard can be withdrawn and not replaced, or it can be withdrawn and replaced by a Standard with a different number.
Lapsed
A document that is past its comment period, but has not been superseded and where it is unlikely the project or product will go ahead.
Obsolescent
“Obsolescent” indicates that the Standard is not recommended for new equipment or as a current practice, but it is retained in order to provide for servicing of existing equipment or requirements.
Redesignated
A redesignated Standard is one that has had its number changed. This could be the main number, the part number or the sub-part number.
Terminated
A document that has not been superseded, but where the project or product is no longer required.
