How do I access British Standards Online?

Answer

You can access British standards, as well as European and international standards that have been adopted as British standards, using British Standards Online (BSOL).

BSOL also includes the details of ISO, EN, PAS, ASTM and IEC standards that haven't been adopted as British standards.

All Library e-resources now use Single Sign On.

If you are on campus, this means seamless single sign-on with no prompts for a password.

Off campus, or on your own device, you will need to enter your University username and password. This will be in the format username@staff.staffs.ac.uk or username@student.staffs.ac.uk (the same as Office 365).

Where you do need to log in, you will see a log-in screen like this:
