The standards are in a state of flux and the content is constantly changing. Moreover, it is impossible for us to include, list or even quote all the standards. In no way do our pages release you from your obligation to purchase your own standards and to read and apply them.

For this we recommend the Internet site of the Beuth publishing house.
