Not just that, but when a company or process is ISO-whatever certified, how am I supposed to know what that means? (The technical rules, not the marketing.) If I need to pay to read the criteria for it, that certification might as well be meaningless.
- jacquesm 5y agoYes, very frustrating this. I totally agree that all ISO standards - in fact, all standards and all laws - should be freely available. Nothing else makes sense.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThe obvious solution is to simply copy the text of the standard into the legislation that relies on it. But many standards that people need to be able to refer to are not referenced in legislation; this includes many standards that are needed for interoperability. In that respect, ISO is providing big companies with an anti-competition 'moat'.
