Find Standards

Notes:

  • Due to license restrictions, access to IHS Standards is limited to PolyU students and staff.
  • Each standard document allows one user to access/view at a time. ISO Standards allow two users to access the same document at a time.

About how to open AATCC/IPC documents (secured PDFs):

FileOpen plugin is required to access AATCC/IPC documents. In addition, you may need to change a few settings in your browser before opening the secured PDFs. Follow the steps below:

  1. Download the FileOpen plugin from here: https://plugin.fileopen.com/. Choose the proper installer to download and install. 
  2. Then go back to your IHS screen:
  • For Chrome users, go to “Setting” in Chrome > Privacy and security > Content settings > PDF documents > then check “Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome”. After this, you will be able to open the secured PDF document.
  • For Firefox users, click on "Open with Different View" at the top pop-up message. Then, you will be able to download the secured PDF and view. 

Not Available in IHS? Try searching the hard copies.

Some print copies of standards from ASTM, BS, IEC, ISO, DIN and ANSI are also available upon request. Sign in to OneSearch to place the request online. The delivery usually takes 2-3 days. You will be notified by email when the requested documents arrive. The loan period for the print standard is 6 hours.

Note: This service is limited to PolyU students and staff only.

Not Available in Library collection? Suggest us to buy it.

Suggest a purchase ("Books") if the required standard is not available in our collection. We will check with the vendor the circulation policies of requested standard. Usually, we will buy the hard copy and keep it in the closed stack at Loan & Return Counter (P/F) for loan. The loan period for the hard copy standard is 6 hours.
