Sources of standards and specifications
Thread Content
I’d like to ask the experts in the group: where do you usually obtain the standards you refer to, and does the company purchase printed versions of these standards?； Why do we ordinary people have to comply with these mandatory standards, and why aren’t they provided free of charge? Isn’t there any money available for creating such standards? ； Everyone is welcome to help me figure things out
How can companies that can’t even afford the standards survive?
People will definitely buy standard versions, and they tend to purchase multiple copies of the most commonly used standards. But these days, people prefer electronic versions as they are more convenient to carry; there’s no need to haul around several books when on a business trip
These days, nothing is free; there’s no such thing as a free lunch
Some can be accessed for free, while others require payment.
This is a common phenomenon; sometimes, when you casually glance at the bookshelf, you might find, huh? Does our company have this paper version of the standard? ? ? ! ! ! Surprise, amazement! I’m just used to the electronic version; it’s more convenient. Moreover, especially in organizations with many systems, there are tasks such as registration, borrowing, and returning, which is quite troublesome. The electronic version is more convenient.
Search on Baidu for free downloads; if that doesn’t work, use points to get it.
Most of the standards in my collection come from the Internet, including those that can be downloaded for free or with points, as well as those I obtained through exchanges with colleagues. For important basic standards such as GB150 and 151, the organization should purchase one copy for each employee
Most of the current electronic versions of standards can be downloaded from standard-sharing websites or forums
