I see its time for the weekly reminder that one does not need to purchase standards directly from ISO.
What you do is you go buy the "regionalised" (a.k.a. "EN-ISO") version which, for all intents and purposes, is exactly the same document.
EN-ISO versions of ISO documents are available at far, far lower prices.
See for example the online shop at the Estonian Centre for Standards and Accreditation[1]. You don't have to live in Estonia or Europe to buy there.

- exmadscientist 4y agoSomeone has caught on to this. Recent standards I was interested in (electrical stuff) were full price from EVS, or at least close enough that I didn't care. Very annoying, I hate the motherfucking cartel bastards that are the IEC. (Tell you how I really feel?)
