Reader Room is an initiative by Standards Australia which provides limited, no-fee access to the entire catalogue of Australian Standards for non-commercial purposes. The platform is not intended for regular users who need access to standards as part of their work (people still need to  purchase Standards ) or for corporate users who will still be able to subscribe to Australian Standard via SAI Global or Techstreet. Users of  Reader Room  will be provided with  three tokens annually  which will allow them to access available individual standards for 24 hours at a time, at no cost. Within the Reader Room platform, you can search for a standard using the designation (e.g., AS 1234), title (e.g., Automatic fire sprinkler systems) or keywords (e.g., fire) There is a demonstration video, which you can  access here .
