Can you download British standards for free like the Building regulations?

No, you cannot download British Standards for free in the same way you might access building regulations. Here are the key points:

Access via Libraries NI

In Northern Ireland, library members can access British Standards online for free through the Libraries NI subscription, but they are not allowed to download the standards1.

Downloading Requirements

For institutions that have a subscription to British Standards Online (BSOL), downloading standards typically requires specific software, such as the FileOpen plugin and Adobe Acrobat Reader. This service is usually provided through educational or institutional subscriptions, and the standards are protected by Digital Rights Management measures34.

No Free Public Downloads

There is no public service that allows the free download of British Standards in the way that some building regulations and approved documents are made available for free download from government websites25.
