Standards are agreed-upon specifications and guidelines for the performance, operation or composition of a product or process. Regulatory agencies create standards that have legal weight; other organizations create standards that are adopted voluntarily because they provide a means of correlating measures and create a common ground. Standards and codes are found in several places and through several library resources, often specific to their regulatory body. If the resources below do not have the standards or codes you are looking for, please contact the Woodward Library Reference Desk at wd.ref@ubc.ca for assistance.
Additional information about standards and codes can be found in the Standards guide.
