It's a real bummer when a public organization (like the government) demands ISO-compliance on something as they're only putting another brick in their profit wall.
And they can be quite expensive, at $100 or so /each, sometimes you deal with a bunch of standards from the same category and have to pay $1000s just to be able to read them. Complete nonsense.
- ineedasername 5y agoChoosing at random I found ISO 105 Textiles — Tests for colour fastness It has about 100 sub standards, and per the ISO website each one costs ~50 USD, or $5,000. Just for one aspect of working with textiles. Maybe it's less if your buy the entire ISO 105 block? I didn't see it listed. Either way, it seems very expensive to be ISO compliant.
- moralestapia 5y agoYup, for a recent project we needed to comply with some environmental norms and ended up spending about 2k. It's usury.
