Logging in to your account
The login process on the new site has changed. You will now be required to log in using your email address, as the previous username-based logins will no longer work.
If your email address is registered with us, you will receive an email to complete a verification process, with instructions to set up a password. This is a one-off activity only required for setting up access on our new website.
For more information about logging in, read the relevant User Guide.
Sponsored Standards
All sponsored standards will remain available for free download. Access to sponsored standards will be easier on the new website, as you can now download them directly from the product page.
Online Library subscribers
- Username and password access accounts. All registered users and usernames supplied in the past few weeks are now pre-loaded to your account and will receive a verification email. New users can be set up by account administrators.
- IP and Auto login accounts. There is no change for read-only users accessing standards on your account. They will simply be directed to the new site. Account administrators will be required to complete the verification process.
- Account administrators have permission to set up new users or change access permissions for existing users. Each new user will need to be assigned an Online Library Access ‘role’ if they are accessing a library through an existing organisational account. Below is a description of each role:
- Administrator. An Administrator has full access to the account. This includes being able to make changes to the subscription, such as adding users or standards, buying standards, managing renewals, and access to the Online Library.
- Purchaser. A purchaser can only buy standards as PDF or hard copy documents. They can also access the Online Library.
- User. A user can only access the Online Library.
Asset Plus subscribers
Asset Plus administrators must complete the verification process.
Your list of monitored NZ and joint AS/NZS standards will be transferred to the new website. If your list contains ISO standards for monitoring, you will already be set up with our Keep Me Up To Date service for these standards.
The scope of our Keep Me Up To Date service has expanded to include ISO and IEC standards monitoring. You can now subscribe to receive updates for these international standards through Keep Me Up To Date free of charge.
Subscribe to updates on Keep Me Up To Date
There are a few changes to our Asset Plus subscription service:
- Asset Plus will no longer automatically deliver hard copy orders for standards that are updated in your list of monitored standards. Instead, it will notify you of the update to the standard/s and create a quote in your account. Confirm you wish to receive the hard copy by accepting and paying for the quote.
- Annual renewal of the Asset Plus subscription service is no longer automatic. You will need to confirm if you wish to renew the service at the time of your renewal. We will inform you well in advance of the renewal date.
Online Library, Asset Plus and other user guides
We have prepared several user guides to help you prepare for the transition to our new website.
Networkable PDFs
We now offer a new service that provides access to PDF standards documents for multiple users. A Networkable PDF licence lets you store a standard on your secure internal network for access by authorised staff. There is a one-time fee for a perpetual licence.
A Networkable PDF licence can be bought for a New Zealand NZS, Joint AS/NZS, ISO or IEC standards.

Quotes
Quoting is now included in the online purchasing process. You no longer need to contact us for a quote. Quotes are valid for 30 days.

You can log in at any time and continue the purchase process for any quote.
