Construction Codes and Standards

Codes cannot readily address in detail every area of construction, so they address multiple resources on a subject, including standards. Standards supplement the code by establishing requirements that a method or material must meet. They cover all aspects of the design, engineering, and construction process.

IHS provides corporate wide desktop subscription access to Codes and Standards from over 370 leading Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), along with 350,000 U.S. military standardization documents. Get the information you need at the moment you need it.

Construction Codes and Standards are available from ANSI, API, ASME, ASTM, AWS, BOCA, BSI, CSA, DIN, ICBO, ICC, IEEE, ISA, ISO, NEMA, NFPA, SBCCI, UL and many more. Many state specific building codes and accessibility manuals are also available. Join thousand's of others who enjoy:

  • A single source for essential codes and standards (active and historical)
  • 24x7 unlimited corporate wide desktop access
  • Rapid document retrieval and automatic notification of revisions
  • Full-text search capability enabling direct access to documents by word or phrase
  • A managed information retrieval solution that addresses corporate copyright issues
  • The ability to link between internal master specifications and standards
  • The availability of information at the point of design

Benefit from significant time savings, increased productivity, and reduced costs by relying on an IHS managed information retrieval solution. Save your organization the expensive, ongoing ordeal of identification, acquisition, dissemination, updating, and management of this critical information.
