From: "Vinay Kumar Sharma" <vinaynyou(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, February 20, 2015 11:01 am Dear Professionals, I want to know whether BIS Codes (Indian Standards) are available on web-based access. Means just like other e-journals & database user authentication must be done through IP. I have gone through their website ( http://www.standardsbis.in/Gemini/home/Home.action) but, it gives purchase options for single single standard. Can any one please inform me, the webbased access is available for BIS code or not? regards Vinay Kumar Sharma Librarian Sarath Engineering and Technology N.H. - 08, Nr.
