Well... If you feel it's justified, you could could use one of the hard-copy prints that you're allowed and 'print' the document to an unlocked PDF file using CutePDF, PDFCreator or similar. These 'look' like regular printers to your PC but generate and save a PDF file instead of sending the document to a physical printer.
 
I can't be sure if the Estonian standards will be protected against this, but I've used this method to produce 'unprotected' PDF files from protected PDFs successfully in the past. As long as the document allows printing, it's always worked for me.
 
I'd be interested to know if this works. You could at least make English language only documents from the dual Estonian/English documents by only printing the English pages.
 
Just a thought,
Tony

Following up on this topic,  anyone know where soft copy PDFs of the standards can be bought which are not locked to a single PC forever?  At the rate we change PCs around here buying a soft copy locked to a PC isn’t even worth it.

 

thanks

Nice tip Mike, thank you.

 

e.g. EVS-EN ISO/IEC 17065:2012 from Estonia in Estonian & English = 22 EUR (18 GBP). There are some licensing restrictions, i.e. unlimited viewing on a single PC with a maximum of 2 hard copy prints, but you can buy additional user licenses, e.g  5 user licenses are just 43 EUR (35 GBP), that's about 7 GBP a copy!

 

From BSI in the UK, BS EN  ISO/IEC 17065:2012 costs 168 GBP for non-members and 84 GBP for members, with membership starting at 184 GBP for organisations of between 1 and 5 employees.

 

Interestingly, the English only language version from Estonia is 99 EUR (81 GBP), which is less than the BSI members price.

 

But... it is said that if a deal seems too good to be true, then it IS too good to be true. I'd be interested to know if/what the catch is here. Otherwise, I might just go into the standards brokering business! ;-)

 

Thanks,

Tony

Not aware of any price breaks through IEEE.

Best pricing I've found is through Estonia:

Anyone know if we can get any breaks on purchasing EN or ISO standards through IEEE?
