Standards are detailed documents that may be rules, testing methods, definitions, recommended practices, and specifications that promote uniformity for engineering design, industrial practices, and terminology, etc. Due to the sheer number of standards and standards organizations, Vesic collects very few standards. However, search the following databases for specific standards. These are for fee sites, they are indexes to standards, not the full text to standards.

  • IHS Standards Searchable index (not full text) to more than 125,000 international standards.
  • TechStreet . Searchable index (not full text) to more than 350 international standards organizations.
