  • +1 That's a good list of standards that are available without any fees. Unfortunately, there are quite a few equally important standards that require larger fees than ISO. Commented Dec 29, 2011 at 13:27

    You can get C# 5.0 for 328 franks from ISO or nothing from ECMA Commented Nov 25, 2012 at 23:30

    As a doctoral student working on infrastructure and tools in medical informatics, I frequently need to cite ISO standards, but without being able to read them, all I can do is stuff others have written about them. It certainly makes sense for a company wanting their products to comply with an ISO standard to chip in for the cost of maintaining the standard, but for scholars and students it seems crazy. I would say the same about academic journals, except my university provides me access to most of those. Commented Jul 14, 2020 at 11:34
  • Thanks Sigfried. Actually I think the same applies to academic journals. Open access journals are the way forward. Commented Jul 16, 2020 at 7:16
