Finding Standards

The TMU Library has a small and incomplete paper collection of standards and specifications.

The majority of Standards are available online either through websites or by purchasing them from some of the agencies listed below.

Copyright laws apply to standards and the copying of entire standards is illegal without prior permission which is unlikely to be granted.
