My 2¢ worth here... If or when standards are incorporated into laws, they should be incorporated by inclusion, not reference, of at least those parts of standards considered necessary for the operation of the laws concerned.
This is especially so for regulations subject to public review and comment, since inclusion of documents unavailable except by purchase subverts the intent of public review and comment. More: An attorney would have a better idea, but I suspect that in the United States legal and Constitutional challenges could be raised to enforcement of those portions of Federal laws not published in the Federal Register. Just my 2¢ worth, of course. IMHO, YMMV, et cum spiritus vodka... Cortland Richmond KA5S - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
