1. Sign into OneSearch, find the i2i database, and register or log in.

2. Conduct your search by number (e.g. AS/NZS 1170.0) or try a keyword search. The search tool looks across titles and descriptions if your keywords don’t match a document number or title.

i2i will show all standards from a keyword search, regardless of origin, so you may see standards you cannot access. To filter these out, select AS - STANDARDS AUSTRALIA from the Publisher dropdown list. 

3. In the Search Results page you can select your standard. You will also see historical versions and the amendment history of the standard.


From the standard's page you can get a description of the standard, have options to Compare Versions (make sure you have pop ups enabled), View Document Versions, and either View Online or Download.


Viewing a standard

To view the standard online, simply click the View Online button. It will load in your browser.

Downloading and printing a standard

For details on downloading and printing standards, see the tabs above.

Linking a standard

You can simply copy and paste the URL from the browser when you are on a standard's page. Alternatively, click the Copy URL icon in the top right corner:

The user must be signed in to the platform to view the standard. If they are not signed in, they will be taken to the login page. 

1. Click the "Download" button. 

The standard will save to your Downloads folder by default. 

2. Once downloaded, you will need to open the file in either Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, Adobe Acrobat Pro or PDF-Xchange Editor (this last option is Windows-only).

Unfortunately, Nitro PDF is not compatible with the Digital Rights Management (DRM) software used by Intertek Inform.

This DRM software does not require the user to download a plugin, but you may need to update your Acrobat settings. Ensure that:

•    Acrobat JavaScript is enabled 
•    Global Object Security Policy (GOSP) is disabled

Instructions on how to change these settings can be found here. 

3. You may get a pop up that says “This document is trying to connect to doc.drm.saiglobal.com. If you trust this site, choose Allow. If you do not trust this site, choose Block.” 

If you do receive this pop up, tick “remember this action for this site” and click “Allow”.

4. Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat (or another compatible software as in Step 2). Do this by right-clicking on the downloaded file in your Downloads folder, hovering your mouse over Open With and selecting Adobe Acrobat:


 

Troubleshooting & further support

• Make sure you have not changed the name of the file when it was saved - this can result in a blank PDF.
• Make sure you are not trying to view your downloaded standard in "Preview" view or in a browser. You must use Adobe or another compatible program.  
• More details about Intertek Inform's DRM can be found here and here. 
• User guides are available here. You must be signed in to view these.
• If you are still having trouble, contact the Library. 

You are able to print two copies of a standard as per UWA's Intertek Inform licence. These pages are watermarked with your name.

You may be able to simply open your standard file in Adobe and print as usual. If this does not work, you may need to change the following settings as per the instructions below:

1. Open Adobe
2. Click "Edit" or "Menu"
3. Click "Preferences" or hold down Ctrl+K on your keyboard
4. Click "Security (Enhanced)"
5. Uncheck the box labelled "Enable Protected Mode at startup" 
6. Uncheck the box labelled "Enable Enhanced Security"
7. Click "Ok" and close Adobe
8. Open your PDF and try printing again. 

UWA students and staff can access Australian Standards (AS). Standards issued outside Australia can be searched within i2i but not viewed, downloaded or printed. 

A number of these standards are 'locked' unless an additional purchase is made by the UWA Library. If you require a locked standard you will need to request it (see instructions in the Requesting standards tab). For HDR students, permission must be granted by your supervisor or lecturer before the standard is purchased and unlocked by the library.

Other sources of International standards

IEEE Standards

To search for IEEE Standards go to the IEEE Xplore database.  From the search dropdown menu select 'Standards'. Type in the root number of the standard (for example '16085') and then run the search. Standards that are available for access in the search results will have an open padlock icon next to them allowing you to download the full text PDF.

Freely available ISO standards

An extensive list of ISO standards is made freely available in accordance with ISO/IEC JTC 1 and the ISO and IEC Councils.

The list can be found at http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html

If you need an international standard that isn't included in the AS collection, you can request it through the desired standard's page on the i2i platform.

You will see one of the following two options: "Request Access", or "Request for Quote".

"Request Access" means that Intertek Inform have a price for the standard, which will be displayed when you submit the request. The Library will pay for any standard requested and subsequently purchased - there is no cost to the person requesting a standard. 

"Request for Quote" means that Intertek Inform will source a quote from the publisher. 

In both cases, requesting access will send a notification to the UWA Library, who will process the request and contact the user. Students should include a note with the details of their supervisor, lecturer, and/or unit code.
