Copyright, Standards and the Internet

The Internet has made it easier to find and obtain ISO and IEC International Standards.

This brochure on 'Copyright, standards and the internet' aims to help users and customers of ISO and IEC International Standards and their national versions to benefit from the new opportunities provided by the availability of standards over the Internet without falling into the traps of copyright infringement and abuse of intellectual property.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and their respective members support the protection of copyright in both the paper and electronic worlds. They are committed to promoting the importance of copyright and to doing their part to ensure that the integrity of all types of created works is upheld. At the same time, they are implemented as widely as possible and that users can make the appropriate use of the standards they need.
