The i2i Essentials Standards database provides online access to the full text of all Australian standards; their international equivalents; withdrawn and superseded standards; document history; and referenced standards. Covers subject areas in the technical and business areas.

• Full text access is provided for one user at a time, but other users may be conducting a search while full text access is taking place. Users are required to register and authenticate when downloading a document.
• Only 1 user is allowed to access this service at any time. Please log out and disconnect from the service immediately when you are done.
• Automatic log-out occurs after 20 minutes of inactivity.
• From 07/10/23, i2i are implementing a new digital rights management solution (Vitrium) to comply with publishers’ needs, and to enable you to access Standards easily, securely, and confidently without breaching license requirements. Vitrium will replace the current FileOpen solution. Adobe Reader or PDF Exchange are the only supported readers of the PDF documents you wish to download. Vitrium will apply the required watermarking to the standards and will continue to prevent sharing or storing on another device.
