    Any chance you lot will stop charging hundreds of dollars for essential trade documents?

    That said thanks for the discount.

    If I buy 10 is it 100% off?

      that sounds too legit to not be right, and if you get 11 or more they start to pay you

    Why do these things cost hundreds of dollars anyway? ELI25

      Lack of competition?

      I've met some people who work there, they're pretty smart.

      My guess is it's just a fairly niche thing - very few people thinking "I'm going to make my career out of publishing various standards documents!"

      They are the exclusive publishers of the standards, they have a licensing agreement with Standards Australia, so with every document SAI licenses to the punters, they then pay a fee to SA. As with any product, the more hands it passes through, the more you pay for it as everyone takes a cut.

      SAI's current agreement is in place until 2018, with a further 5 year option, and things may change if the agreement isn't renewed or court action by SA is successful against SAI.

        I think the point is that product safety standards should be freely accessible to ensure they are widely known and adhered to. Eg. how many small furniture makers would use the applicable standards as a reference for stability and load requirements? Making standards less accessible means less people use them which seems counter intuitive.

        Its also a shame that SAI decided to no longer provide subscription access to public libraries.

        Hot Tip:
        If you have a time limited standards PDF, just turn off javascript in acrobat before you open the standard and it will bypass the DRM. (you can also change permissions and then remove document javascripts if you would like to permanently clean the PDF of DRM).

          I'd love for everything for free, but we aren't communists.

          If you are making furniture for a living and you can't afford to purchase the relevant standard to your field once every few years then you aren't really running a business, you're a charity.

          People need to come up with the standard, to communicate with the relevant bodies/people in the fields for feedback and make adjustments. People needs to make it accessible (print/online etc.), they need to promote the fact there is a new standard or else nobody will know to look at it and keep using the old one. I could keep going on, but in the end, someone has to pay for it. This is beginning to sound like the argument against music being free.

          Its not so much a matter of getting something for free or not, rather its about ensuring standards that are in the public's interest ( eg. safety) or standards which are enforced by law are freely available so that no etsy childrens toy kills anyone.

          I feel if standards are enforced by law, then they should be as freely available as any other legislation.

          @jayel:
          I agree with you in theory, but in reality its not practical.

          If your etsy maker was that worried about the child safety aspects of the toys they make, they would save up and buy the standard. Each purchase of the applicable standard pays for its development and upkeep, and Joe Taxpayer shouldn't need to foot the bill.

          If you can find the people who are intelligent enough to write the standards in the first place and convince them that their time isn't worth anything, then you are onto a winner! Good luck with that.
