Documentary Standards

This page lists some documentary standards that are relevant to various aspects of signal processing. The list is by no means exhaustive and we would welcome suggestions for additional standards that we should identify for users of these web pages. Probably the most efficient way in which to identify, review the contents of, and purchase standards documents is by means of the Standard Infobase, which is the leading bibliographic standards database. It covers over 600,000 worldwide standards. Contact your organisation's librarian for advice on how to access the database. More information about the Standards Infobase can be found at http://www.ili.co.uk/.
