Industry Standards

NOTE to University of Utah Faculty: The J. Willard Marriott Library will purchase standards for regular faculty whenever they are needed to accomplish the teaching or research mission of the university. Simply fill out an Interlibrary Loan request online. Because of the exorbitant cost of some standards, the library reserves the right to limit the number or maximum cost of standards requests.


Standards available at Marriott Library 

ACI - American Concrete Institute Most ACI standards are included in the ACI Manual of Concrete Practice. Our latest is the 1994 edition, Science Reference: TA439 A5 1994, 5 volumes.

ANSI - American National Standards Institute
The Marriott Library will purchase standards from ANSI and ASME upon request by University of Utah Faculty, through the Interlibrary Loan office. Standards take 5-10 days to arrive. Faculty may request these standards on the library's website at  http://www.lib.utah.edu/libraryinfo/dept/ill/


We carry the ANSI Boilder and Pressure Vessel Code. 1998 is our latest edition located at the Science Reference Desk.

The Marriott Library will purchase standards from ANSI and ASME upon request by University of Utah Faculty, through the Interlibrary Loan office. Standards take 5-10 days to arrive. Faculty may request these standards on the library's website at  http://www.lib.utah.edu/libraryinfo/dept/ill/

ASTM - American Society for Testing and Materials The complete set of 2004 standards is available at the Science Reference desk, Level 4.

DIN - Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization U.S. sales of DIN standards are handled by ANSI, contact:
phone: (412) 776-4970, or, email: publications@sae.org

IEEE - Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. We do have all IEEE standards in the collection; they are available through the IEEExplore website. This site is accessible only on campus or through your proxy account.

ISO - International Standards Organization ISO 9000 - quality control models and guidelines, adopted by the International Organization for Standardization. We have the three A-models and a few of the A-guidelines. In the U.S., the actual designations for the models are: ANSI/ASQM Q9001, ANSI/ASQM Q9002, ANSI/ASQM Q9003. The library also has a large number of books about ISO 9000 and its implementation; search the library catalog, or browse at call number TS156.6. We also carry many books detailing the interpretation and application of this standard. Check the library's catalog for more information.

National Electrical Code (NFPA): - (new edition currently on order) Science Reference, TK3275.N36

National Electrical Safety Code (IEEE/ANSI) 2002 edition is in Science Reference: TK152.I578 2002

NFPA - National Fire Protection Association Code Current set is in Science Reference: TH9115.N3 2004/2005. NFPA also publishes the National Electrical Code, latest edition (1996) in Science Reference at TK375 N36

SAE - Society of Automotive Engineers We have only the J-series (Ground Vehicles): in the SAE Handbook, Science Reference: TL151 S62

UL - Underwriters Laboratory We have some very old UL standards on microfiche; ask at the Science Desk. UL only sells its standards individually.

 

Special Notice to Utah Businesses


Utah Procurement Technical Assistance Center (UPTAC)
Although not at the Marriott Library, the Utah Procurement Technical Assistance Center (UPTAC) will obtain many standards free of charge for Utah businesses that are bidding-for or working-under government contracts. UPTAC is part of the Department of Community and Economic Development and is a valuable source for the following standards: Military Specifications, DOD-adopted standards, ASTM standards, AIA/NAS (Aerospace Industries Association of America/National Aerospace) standards, SAE - (DOD adopted) standards, as well as specialty standards such as: DSAES, QME1S, UT340, UT410, and DS1ESS .

ISO    The International Organization for Standardization, ISO, in Geneva is the top level organization of all the national standardization bodies. Together with the International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC, ISO concentrates its efforts on harmonizing national standards all over the world. The results of these activities are published as ISO standards.

 

ISO standards are sold by the national standards body members (e.g. ANSI, DIN, etc), by special companies, and by the ISO General Secretary in Geneva. The standard way to order standards is to contact your national standards body. If you want to get the standards directly from ISO, you may order them from:

ISO Sales
Case Postale 56
CH-1211
Geneve 20 Switzerland
E-mail: sales@isocs.iso.ch


ISO accepts VISA and American Express. They require the card number, its expiry date, and an authorizing signature. Some people prefer to order their standards directly from ISO in Geneva, because some national member bodies (e.g. ANSI) reprint ISO standards locally, use cheaper paper and charge more for ISO standards than the headquarters. The address of the ANSI sales department is:

ANSI
Attention: Customer Service
11 West 42nd St.
New York, NY 10036
USA
phone +1 212 642-4900

A number of ISO's computer related standards are European Computer Manufacturer Association (ECMA) standards with another cover and another number, so it's a good idea to check if you can't get the same standard free from ECMA (all ECMA standards are free).

Major Standards Issuing Organizations (Selected)

NOTE: Standards are not freely available on the internet. Much time and money are involved in the creation and maintanence of technical standards. These organizations, mostly non-profit ones, must recover their costs from low-volume sales (standards are not best sellers!).
