Q. How do I access an industry standard? Access ISO 45001? ANSI Z10?

The library database Engineering Workbench (formerly TechStreet) contains several ANSI, ISO, ASSE, BSO, ASME, and ASTM standards. This is where you will locate the following heavily used industry standards:

• ISO 45001
• ANSI Z10

We do NOT have all the standards possible; only a small collection of key standards as requested by faculty.

Accessing the Engineering Workbench database

Click on the Databases link on the library homepage. This will take you to the landing page for all EKU Libraries databases. Click the letter "E" at the top of the page, then scroll down to Engineering Workbench. 

If you have not accessed Engineering Workbench before, you will need to create an account.

Navigating to the needed standard document in Engineering Workbench

Once you have accessed Engineering Workbench, you can use the Search bar near the top of the page to find the document you need.  Select either Codes and Standards or All Documents, and then search for the code or standard you need.

Standard not available?

First, don't forget that EKU Libraries also subscribes to the National Fire Codes Online database. If you need an NFPA Code, you will use that database to access those specific fire industry codes.

If you need a standard that is NOT available in Engineering Workbench or the National Fire Codes Online database, EKU faculty, staff, and students can login to your Library Express account and submit a Request for a the specific standard.

We will sometimes purchase standards to be added to the database collection if there is merit in our having a local copy that will be used in the future when they meet curricula needs. Please contact your library liaison or utilize the Comments section when requesting standards that meet course curricula needs.

Comments Field

Please give use details in the comments field. Where did you find out about this standard? Why do you need it? How will you be using it?

For Faculty and Course Instructors

Some standards bodies can provide complimentary access for students and faculty to selected standards. Most require an instructor request for a specific standard for use in a specific course.
