James,

Don't shoot the messenger.

The publicly available ISO standards were once just simple downloads, but last year ISO changed to a system whereby the publicly available ISO standards needed to go through a shopping cart system and are watermarked (on every page) to the ISO Web Store account that purchased them at no cost. The following was the URL:

https://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/index.html

In other words, like other publicly available ISO standards, such as ISO/IEC 10646 and its amendments, it is publicly available at no cost but with ISO strings attached.

Regards...

-- Ken
