Your best starting point to verify current information about a standard is:
NSSN: A National Resource for Global Standards contains over 300,000 references to standards from more than 600 developers worldwide. A user searches the NSSN and identifies a document of interest. If the document is available electronically the user will be seamlessly transferred to the shopping cart of the standards developer or designated information reseller. If a document is not available electronically then information is provided about how to obtain a hard-copy version of the text.
IHS Global provides brief information for current standards. All users must register before searching, and may purchase standards. Only UCF faculty may request standards via Interlibrary Loan's Book Request form. See also IEEE Xplore for selected full text standards.

| Industry Standards and Engineering Data
provides numeric and subject indexing of the standards of: American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, American National Standards Institute, American Society
for Testing and Materials, and other organizations. Although less extensive
than NSSN and no longer
updated by the UCF Library, this print index may help identify many of
the major standards. Full text of the standards is not included, except for
some older issues of ASTM and NFPA standards. The 2002 edition is available at the UCF Library's Reference Desk. |
