How to find standards in the Library

A standard is a "a document that provides requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose" (ISO: 2015).

Any standard is a collective work, drawn up by a committee of manufacturers, users, research organizations, government departments and consumers working together.

We use standards to achieve a level of safety, quality and consistency in products and processes.
