If anyone wishes to read it or similar European standards, each nation is required to sell it at a price proportional to the average wage, and hence the Estonian standards body is selling it[1] for €14, instead of the £204 the British standards institute wants.

- martimarkov 6y agoI know this is off topic but... As an European this is the first time I learn you need to pay to read EU standards. Anyone has any explanation why you need to pay for access to standards?
- klohto 6y agoYou don’t. This is not an European body, but a derived standard for Estonia. EU version at https://www.cenelec.eu/dyn/www/f?p=104:22:1562386624244501::.. https://www.cenelec.eu/dyn/www/f?p=104:22:1562386624244501::....

- Symbiote 6y agoYou need to pay to read ISO standards too. Presumably it covers some of the costs involved in producing the standard. Library Genesis (sister project to Sci-Hub) archives standards, but doesn't yet have this one.

- advisedwang 6y agoAs far as I can see that site does not provide a free download.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoYou're right. This is just another proprietary standards body.
