We recommend that you have a pre-prepared list of standards, standardization documents and drafts that you would like to include in your package. This is necessary so that you can decide what type of subscription to choose, as well as have the number and title of the standards to make it easier to search and include them in the package.

You can add new standards until you reach the limit of the package you have paid for. In case you want to include more standards, beyond the limit of the package, you will need to place a new order for them.

If at the initial set-up of the standards list you have not filled the limit of the paid package, you can add additional standards during the subscription period until reaching this limit.

In your subscription you can add only active BDS standards and standardization documents, as well as draft standards from 50.20 stage onwards. Please note that you do not need to add corrigenda of standards, as you can download them for free from our website. Please note that you cannot add collections, international standards and other BDS publications to your subscription!
