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
      • Will open a new tab or window with a download request page ⇒
        • When the Standard is 'Ready for download', press the Download document button
           
  3. The Order Fulfillment (DRM protected document) window will appear stating how you can view the Adobe PDF file that has been saved to the Downloads folder in your browser
    • Open this folder and double click on the PDF to view the Standard
 IMPORTANT: These files MUST be opened in Adobe Reader, not in the browser window. They will not open in the browser.

Australian Standards are free of charge. International Standards have a cost to unlock and be made available.

An International Standard that is locked will have a Request Access button instead of a Download/View Online option.

When you click Request Unlock you will need to fill in some details and then press Submit Form.

  • The request will be sent to the DoH Library who after confirmation will unlock the Standard. 
  • The cost of unlocking the Standard is the responsibility of the requestor. The DoH library will pass on the invoice once it has been received. 
  • Once the Standard is unlocked, go to the Download tab and follow instructions to access.

The new i2i Mobile app has been released.

The mobile app ensures uninterrupted access to essential industry Standards even when you're offline, so you can stay informed, compliant and productive, no matter where your work takes you. 

With the i2i Mobile App, you can: 

  • Access Standards Offline: No internet? No problem. Download your essential Standards and access them anytime, even without a connection. 
  • My Alerts: Stay informed with an up-to-date summary of all your Standards on your watchlist.
  • Use Existing Logins: Access i2i with the same set of credentials as you would on your desktop. 
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): For SSO enabled accounts, securely access your account with just one set of credentials, simplifying your login experience and enhancing security. 
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.
