The specs are all developed with public money's so they are available to the public. ' provides free access to over 20,000 Military, DoD, Federal, NASA, DOE, and Government specifications, standards, handbooks, and publications.' It's not IHS, but it you need free open access specs it a great place to look. RE: Why is it ever so difficult to find the standards? jmw (Industrial) 18 Nov 09 15:24ДЄs an afterthought, I recently came accross this site and have found it quite usfull. Maybe it is and I just don't recognize it. I realize managers always have to consider cost, but risk should be in that calculation too.

But I would really prefer an effort by management to state, 'These are the standards (and list the standards in writing) without which we cannot comply with FAA requirements, and thus we will bite the bullet to have these on revision service no matter how many bean counters disagree.' I completely agree that most standards that change do not usually change the core focus, and that designs built to the old standard will not suddenly start falling out of the sky because the standard was revised.

I can only imagine what a sharp lawyer would do with the information that a design was created to a standard but there was no process in place to verify it was the current standard. I capitalized ON REVISION SERVICE because in my humble (ok not really so humble) opinion, and standards that are genuinely necessary for the task must be on revision service or there is always the risk of liability if the worst happens. At Rockwell Collins having access to standards ON REVISION SERVICE was not even was considered a mandatory requirement and not negotiable.ДЄt most of all the other organizations where I did engineering, either contract or direct, the general thought pattern was that the standards are good to have but no one wants to fight the capital budget folks for funds to keep them ON REVISION SERVICE.

I have only ever worked for one OEM (Rockwell Collins, on a one year contract). At most of the aerospace engineering organzations where I have worked, we are normally in the retrofit regime. I am not an expert in this area but I certainly have seen (and fought with) some of the issues raised here. RE: Why is it ever so difficult to find the standards?

Yeah, I know that the organizations which produce and maintain these standards require a means of funding.

In fact, some standards such as the Ontario Building Code ARE indeed available free of charge on Canadian legal websites- but you have to look damned hard to FIND them. The TSSA Act in Ontario, for instance, gives CSA B51 and hence ASME VIII and the various B31 piping codes essentially the force of regulation. Lack of availability is the key reason these standards are often ignored or improperly followed, sometimes putting life and limb at risk.ДЄny standard which becomes a de-facto regulation under a piece of legislation, SHOULD be available free of charge- or they should be replaced with standards which ARE freely available. You've hit on a sore point with me for sure.
