These instructions are for downloading Australian Standards and International Standards that have been unlocked.

To unlock an International Standard please go to Request Access tab. 

  1. From the search results screen click on the title of standard you wish to view
     
  2. You will be provided with two viewing options:
    • View Online
      • Will open a new tab or window with an online PDF version of the Standard
         
    • Download

Why am I seeing "License not available. Please try after some time."

If the licence to view or download documents is in use, you will not be able to access or download until the other user logs out.

What's covered by the licence?

Australian standards are available; however, the online site also references other international standards from organisations such as:

  • AAMI - Association for Advancement of Medical Instrumentation
  • ANSI - American National Standards Institute
  • ISO - International Organization for Standardization
Is there a session time-out and/or a limit to concurrent users?

There is a time-out of 8 minutes of session inactivity. There is a ONE concurrent user license - This means that there can be only one active user online at a time (active means viewing or downloading a document). There is no limit to the number of users searching on the platform.
