The exception is citing - e.g. if you want to
copy paragraphs word by word into source code or issue comments,

need a copy of the standard.
You can't do that with an ISO document. ISO does not permit copying
of their material. You can, of course, cite the section (and
paragraph, note, etc.) in code - for which you would need the PDF
standard itself.
Copying is obviously not allowed. But that copyright holders are able to
prevent citation of extracts surprises me. I'm used to German law § 51
UrhG, which explicitly allows citing excerpts of copyrighted material
without acknowledgement from authors (with some if's and when's, but
should apply here). Is this different in other countries? How does this
work on international stage?
In [0], ISO/IEC allow citation conditionally. See "Extracting parts of a
standard for inclusion in the company's internal documentation, user’s
guide or manuals", and "Including parts of a standard in books or
software applications". Anyway, would be really sad if we're not allowed
to do it.
