Why on earth would it cost $56 to read the document?!
- Glawen 7y agoPretty common with industry norms and standard unfortunately...
- xnyan 7y agoI agree. It's done, ostensibly, to distribute the cost of creating and publishing the standard. This is not being done correctly, access should be generally available to safety standards for reasons of promoting safe practices. No or very few individuals pay for personal access to standards, it's a business expense paid paid by you or your firm. Allowing non-profit use would not change their main source of revenue.
- xnyan 7y agoThis is standard for standards (heh). If you work in the industry, your employer pays for access. Everyone else pays $50-100s a pop or buys a subscription. Source - I worked for large testing company that also developed and sold standards.
