Standards

NATSPEC cites many standards as a concise way of defining performance and quality to mandated or industry recognised standards. One of the key services NATSPEC provides is to monitor ongoing changes to these standards and communicate them by a number of means including:

• SPECnotes is a quarterly newsletter for subscribers that includes descriptions of new, superseded, withdrawn or amended standards for the previous three months which will be taken into account in the next NATSPEC Update.
• NATsource is a document published bi-annually that lists all documents cited in NATSPEC specification packages. It includes an abstract for each and a list of the publishers responsible for them. Every specification package includes a PDF of NATsource. A hard copy is also available for purchase by all.
