Prices are generally single to low double-digit Euros (even for standards that are hundreds or 1000+ dollars).
If you are a solo contractor like me (and hence only need one copy), DON'T get the single licence copies. You need to use some BS DRM software that binds the file to your computer and is a PITA.
Get the organisation one, pay for two licenses, and you'll be given a regular PDF instead (and still save hundreds of dollars).
You obviously will only get the Estonian specific annexes, but those are normally optional anyway, and generally available for free when downloading the "free sample" of a standard for a specific country.
- reaperman 3y agoThank you! The availability here looks like it greatly exceeds that of http://libgen.rs http://libgen.rs
- justinclift 3y agoThe ISO SQL standards docs are still ridiculously expensive :( https://www.evs.ee/en/search?query=SQL&organisations=2 https://www.evs.ee/en/search?query=SQL&organisations=2
- negative_zero 3y agoDamn :( That's very unfortunate (and I am sorry if I got your hopes up). I should have specified that I've only searched for and purchased hardware specific standards not software ones.
- justinclift 3y agoNo worries, it was worth checking just in case. :)
- slim 3y agocheapest source is libgen. I recommend it for education. You'll always have the means to pay for a copy if you implement the standard for $$$
- layer8 3y agoLibgen’s coverage of ISO standards is quite poor.
