Search results:
After entering your search, the search result will be displayed. The search result is arranged according to relevance, starting with the most relevant hit. Be aware that a search containing words such as "standards", ISO and NS will return a large number of hits.
The search result will show how many hits your search has returned and present them over several pages. You can browse through these pages by clicking "Next". For more information on a particular standard, you can click on Product information. By doing so, you will find information such as English title, subject area and the number of pages.

Search tips
To search for a standard, write your search words in the text box and then click enter on your keyboard or click on the "Search" button next to the text box. The search result will show products that contain one or more of your search words.
In order to get a good search result it is important to use good, specific search words. It is not necessary to use * behind the search words. Several search words can be used in a single search and the words can be separated by any symbol or just a space.
If you know the prefix of the standard (NS, NS-EN, NS-ISO, NS-EN ISO, IEC) in addition to the standard number this will simplify your search.
Searching just by standard number (8405, 3420 etc.) also returns a result, but the order in which the search result is organised will be more random. However, if you do not know the prefix of the standard, searching for just the number is still the best way to find what you are looking for.
The search result will be arranged as follows: Results in standard number are displayed first, then results in title, scope and finally total/freetext results.
The default search will display valid standards. You can also choose to search within withdrawn, or both valid and withdrawn standard. In the "Narrow results" menu to the right of the search result you can easily choose to narrow the search result to specific categories such as language, ICS-code or topic.
