Standards are documents, developed by standards organisation bodies, that provide nationally- and/or internationally-recognised specifications, procedures, and guidelines for a variety of processes. Standards organisation bodies regularly review and update standards to ensure they contribute to a safe, consistent, and reliable environment.
Monash University Australia staff and students can access all Australian Standards (AS) online, as well as certain standards from other standards organisation bodies - including those produced by ASTM International (ASTM), British Standards (BS), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). The Hargrave-Andrew Library holds some standards in physical/print format.
Generally, standards are not listed individually in Library Search – instead, check the relevant standards database in the Standards databases section.
If you are a HDR student or staff member from any Faculty or Institute who requires access to a standard that is not part of our collection, we may be able to arrange this for you. To submit your request:
1. Sign into Library Search
2. Choose Request Library Purchase (top menu bar, under Show more ... )
3. Complete and submit the request form.
