NOTE: We only have full text access to the content listed below under ACCESSIBLE TO COLUMBIA AFFILIATES. There are few affordable options for broad access to standards (e.g. ISO) and we have to assess these on a case-by-case basis. If you can't find a standard covering the topic you need in the sites below, or if you need a specific standard not found in the full text databases or the print items indicated below, please contact ref-sci@columbia.edu and we will evaluate your options.

LOOKING FOR ISO STANDARDS? We now have access to European-adopted ISO standards via ASTM's partnership with AENOR. For the most part the text of these standards is the same as the "regular" ISO documents. Connect to ASTM below to search for these along with ASTM's own standards.
