The British Standards Online is the database for all publications from the British Standards Institute (BSI) and contains over 60,000 documents, including current, historic, and draft British Standards; BSI adopted European and international standards; technical handbooks; codes of practice; guidelines; and specifications for products, dimensions, performance, and glossaries. The Custom Collection are the standards we have subscribed to for full text access.
These British Standards have been chosen in consultation with teaching staff for their relevance to courses taught at the College.
If there are any standards available but not in our Custom Collection you can contact your librarian to discuss the posibility of including it.
