In a move to make global standards more accessible, Standards Australia has officially embraced the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard. This means Australians can now get the Australian Standard version, which is the same as ISO’s, at lower prices.
Web Version Savings:
| Cost | ISO Standard (From ISO) | ISO Standard (From SA store) | Australian Standard (From SA store) |
| 1 Named User | $161.32 | $180.92 | $113.50 |
| 9 Named Users | NA | $343.74 | $215.65 |
Hardcopies:
| Cost | ISO Standard (From ISO) | ISO Standard (From SA store) | Australian Standard (From SA store) |
| 1 Named User | $161.32 | $200.82 | $125.98 |
| 9 Named Users | NA | $1807.38 | $1133.82 |
While this move is a big win for affordability, there is talk about changing how organisations are charged. Further updates will be discussed during the scheduled meeting in June.
