British Standards, including European and international adoptions, are available in many university and public libraries that subscribe to the BSOL platform. Librarians and lecturers at UK-based subscribing universities have full access rights to the collection while students can copy/paste and print but not download a standard.{{citation needed|date=August 2019}} Up to 10% of the content of a standard can be copy/pasted for personal or internal use and up to 5% of the collection made available as a paper or electronic reference collection at the subscribing university. Because of their reference material status standards are not available for interlibrary loan. Public library users in the UK may have access to BSOL on a view-only basis if their library service subscribes to the BSOL platform. Users may also be able to access the collection remotely if they have a valid library card and the library offers secure access to its resources.

The BSI Knowledge Centre in [[Chiswick, London]] can be contacted directly about viewing standards in their Members' Reading Room.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://shop.bsigroup.com/en/Navigate-by/Membership/Benefits-and-services-/BSI-Knowledge-Centre/ |title=BSI Knowledge Centre (includes library) |publisher=Bsigroup.com |access-date=2014-05-15 |archive-date=2013-07-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130719031531/http://shop.bsigroup.com/en/Navigate-by/Membership/Benefits-and-services-/BSI-Knowledge-Centre |url-status=live }}</ref>
