Standards

Understanding and applying engineering standards is a critical part of professional practice in all branches of engineering. To support this, our eLibrary provides access to a wide range of national and international standards through our subscription to Intertek Inform. 

Intertek Inform offers comprehensive coverage of technical standards across disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineering. Students can use this resource to reference current standards for design projects, lab work, or industry-focused research. Whether you’re preparing for professional practice or just beginning to explore how standards shape engineering decisions, this collection is an essential tool. 

Access is available to all students and staff, both on-campus and remotely. Please note that IEEE Standards can be found in the IEEE electronic library subscription, or use the search bar from the eLibrary home page.

Australian engineering standards play a vital role in ensuring the safety, reliability, and quality of engineering practices across the country. Developed and maintained by Standards Australia, these standards provide authoritative technical specifications and guidelines for a wide range of engineering disciplines, including civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, and environmental engineering. 

These standards help engineers design, manufacture, and maintain systems and infrastructure that meet national regulatory requirements and international best practices. By adhering to Australian standards, engineers contribute to the protection of public safety, the environment, and the economy. 

Many Australian standards align closely with international standards, promoting compatibility and trade while addressing specific local conditions and regulatory needs. For students and professionals alike, familiarity with these standards is essential for effective engineering practice in Australia. 

Intertek Inform is a comprehensive digital platform that provides access to over 1.6 million standards from more than 360 publishers worldwide, including key organizations like Standards Australia, ISO, IEC, ASTM, and NFPA.  

For educational institutions, Intertek Inform provides the i2i platform, a powerful standards management solution that enables seamless access to technical documents, helping institutions maintain compliance and improve efficiencies.  

By partnering with Intertek Inform, educational institutions can ensure that students and faculty have the resources they need to stay informed and aligned with industry standards, enhancing the quality and relevance of engineering education.
