Standards help to ensure quality of products, safety of consumers and interchangabilty of parts. Use of standards can help companies improve their profit margins and customer satisfaction. There may also be important ethical reasons to use standards when creating a design.
Sometimes you may need to check whether a standard exists for a particular product, process, material or design issue. Use the following databases to discover what standards exist.
Standards, like other sources of information, must be cited when you use them in your work. The following is a guide on how to cite standards according to the IEEE Style Manual.
Basic format:
[1] Title of Standard, standard number, date.
Examples:
[1] IEEE Criteria for Class IE Electric Systems, IEEE Standard 308, 1969.
[2] Letter Symbols for Quantities, ANSI Standard Y10.5-1968.
For more information on citing according to the IEEE Style Manual, please see the IEEE Editorial Style Manual, come to the Engineering & Computer Science Library Reference Desk, email us or call 416-978-6578.
