How to obtain standards - ISO, AS (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

The world runs on standards that define everything. Unfortunately these standards are proprietary which is highly inconvenient.

Where would one obtain standards namely international standards (ISO) and Australian standards (AS). Some can be found on the internet archive but a majority cannot. I believe some libraries let you download some version with all sorts of drm but that's not something I want to deal with.

How hard can it be to get a pdf that defined how literally everything in the world works.

EDIT: I have checked Library Genesis it has some but not all.

It's against rules to ask about specific titles is it not? Yeah i got the same proprietary Adobe drm format which i obviously cant integrate with my knowledge environment. Seems i might be able to fuck around with Calibre to remove said drm tho.
