Standards & technical rules

You search for ...

... DIN (German standards), VDE

Valid, German and English DIN (without VDE) are contained in full text in the Nautos (BTU campus network) and can be read within the database.  Individual standards may only be printed or downloaded for personal scientific use.

BTU members may also use the DIN for teaching purposes and make it available to their students in an access-restricted and exclusively authorised virtual learning environment (e.g. Moodle).

We held withdrawn DIN standards pre-6/2004 in print form → order form.

DIN drafts are available after free registration at Norm-Entwurfs-Portal.

You can search for and read VDE standards (also DIN VDE) in the database VDE-NormenBibliothek.

DIN supports the integration of standardization in higher education (see DIN, German broschure).

... ISO Standards

Nautos allows searches of ISO standards, but doesn't provide full text of these with the exception of DIN ISO or DIN EN ISO standards.

If you cannot find what you are looking for please go to University library TU Berlin (library card for external users). The access is only possible on site.
