Standards Guide

UBC Library also has a guide for standards. Visit the Standards Guide (https://guides.library.ubc.ca/standards) for a more complete list of what is available through the Library.

CSA OnDemand Standards
Full text access to Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standards. NOTE: CSA standards can be downloaded as PDFs on-campus only or on the VPN using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

ASTM Compass
Includes a digital edition of nearly every ASTM International book and paper spanning 140+ industries and 100+ years including books, journals, Special Technical Publications (STPs) and standards.
BSI Knowledge
Access over 110,000 standards. BSI Knowledge contains British standards and includes ISO, EN and IEC standards that have been fully adopted as British standards.
IEEE Xplore Digital Library
The IEL database provides fulltext access to more than 140 technical journals, over 1000 standards, and approximately 900 annual conference proceedings published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

CSA's OnDemand database is the first place you should look for CSA standards. However, there are additional sources for CSA standards as well.

Superseded CSA Standards (195? - 1995) are in the ASRS storage in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Request these through the Library's CSA Standards Collection online record. Note: When selecting the appropriate box, scroll through the entire list of holdings to find the superseded standards.
The CCOHS database has many CSA standards in their Legislation section
The CSA Community Group (free registration required) provides some view access to a selection of standards.

If you are unable to find what you're looking for, contact a librarian under the Getting Started page in this guide.
