ISO documents are copyrighted, so you are supposed to buy them.

You are SUPPOSED to be able to order them from your national
standards body (looking at your address, I assume that you should
contact ANSI). You can also order them from ISO directly (and you'll
have lots of fun paying in a money they accept. I have found travellors
cheques in swiss francs to be the best solution, even if I do have to
pay a little bit more...)

from my ISO catalogue:
  Central secretariat
  ISO
  1, rue de Varembe'     ( --> the last character is supposed to be:
  Case postale 56              "e with accent aigu" )
  CH-1211 Geneva 20
  Switzerland

tel:  +41 22 34 12 40   (the +41 means that the country code for CH
fax:  +41 22 33 34 30    is "41". See your telephone directory for
                         more information about how to dial internat.)

And from an old e-mail:
   you can (supposedly) contact ANSI [new york] at:
         212  642 4900  Phone
         212  398 0023  ?? fax ??
(I have found that they rarely answer their phone).


Hope this helps,

You can purchase them from ANSI.  Neither ANSI nor ISO has yet to agree
to any form of electronic distribution, certainly not a free exchange,
as the sale of standards documents helps support the work of making
them.

Someone mentioned that ANSI doesn't answer their phone; I've only had
problems with this when they were socked in with massive snowstorms.
You could write to them at

	ANSI
	1430 Broadway
	New York, NY   10018

and request the ISO catalog and ordering information.
