To All, I have a small experience in buying standards. And 61326 make me big surprise.
An year ago I have bought from PKN (Polish Komitee for Norms(Standards)): 1. PN-EN 61326 February 2003 2. PN-EN 61326:2002/A3 December 2004 I supposed, that A3 without basic one will be nothing. Then I found that position 1 is the French/English version, why position 2 is the whole standard (with E and F annexes) and English only (less pages - smaller price). So I see the position 1 can be destined for recycling only, but I can find the cheapest methods to collect the same amount of paper for that purpose. So, how you buy standards ? Should I begin from the AX (X=max) and if it contains no the whole standard I should buy the A(X-1) and so on ?
