Has anyone here ever consider buying or have bought an ISO standard? Which one?
- bmn__ 6y agoI wanted a copy a couple of times per year, but never considered buying. With some exceptions, they are available elsewhere as a gratis download. All hail https://enwp.org/Libgen https://enwp.org/Libgen https://enwp.org/Z-Library https://enwp.org/Z-Library Most recent one was ISO 9, just to satisfy curiosity.
- rjsw 6y agoI have been given bound paper copies of ones that I wrote. Can also download PDFs of any that would be useful in developing new standards, I don't need to buy them.
- jolmg 6y agoWow. Which ones did you write?
- lkuty 6y agoC, C++, Prolog. The ANSI versions because it is cheaper. ISO standards are expensive. Standards could be very precise and effective in providing information but the experience varies wildly. I like RFCs which I find quite readable.
- the_only_law 6y agoCan’t think of any ISO standard off the top of my head, but there’s a few standards I’ve looked at purchasing before. Particularly IEEE, but some of those can be very expensive. A lot of the standards I look at are ITU or from some independent vendor available for free or at a low cost.

- rdpintqogeogsaa 6y agoIs there any technique that's worth keeping in mind for other areas (thinking about GDPR in particular)? If so, what are they?
- stevegalla 6y agoNot personally, but I worked in manufacturing and the company bought them. The company is required to adhere to ISO and other certifications specified by the customer. In order to adhere to the standards, you need to have the current revision of the standards. If in your annual audit it's determined that you don't have the current revision, that's a non-conformance. Correct it by purchasing the new version. Also, you need to pay for the "official training" before you start to get certified. And you need to pay for "internal auditor training" as part of the requirements. ISO 9000 series, IATF 16949 series, ISO 14000 series, some welding ones, painting ones, ASME standards for drawings, Y14, IIRC. And the Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG) "Core Tools" series of books. I don't think they are standards, but they are "customer requirements", which means you can't be certified without them. They are used for new product introduction, so you can't pass new part submission without following the rules in them.
- mac-chaffee 6y agoI have a copy of ISO 27002 from my employer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_27002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_27002 It is kinda nice to be able to literally throw the book (or at least screenshots of the book) at management when they don't want to take security seriously.
