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 http://www.lib.utah.edu/libraryinfo/dept/ill/.
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.
See a Listing
of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel(BPV) Codes contained
in this edition.

- 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 .

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

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).

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!).
The links below provide access to sites where
standards may be identified and/or purchased.
