IEEE and CCITT “Colored Books”

IEEE issues books with color names i.e., the white book, the brown book, the yellow book, the red book. The IEEE standard number for these books can be found in ILI Standards Infoweb (on our database list). They are not indexed in IEEE Xplore by the color of the book!

Also CCITT (Consultative Committee for International Telephone and Telegraph) issues “colored book” standards. Blue Book, Red Book and Yellow Book editions are the ones we have. These are also available in the IEEE Xplore, under their standard number.

ISO 9000/14000

These are two frequently requested ISO Standards. ISO 9000 has to do with quality management for businesses and organizations. ISO 14000 is concerned with environmental management for businesses and organizations.

In the ISO 9000 family, we have ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9000 2000, Quality management systems-fundamentals and vocabulary, which is equivalent to ISO 9000. We also have ANSI/ASQC Q9000-1, Quality management and quality assurance standards - guidelines for selection and use which is identical to ISO 9000-1.

In the ISO 14000 family, we have ANSI/ISO the following 12 standards: 14001, 14004, 14010, 14012, 14020, 14021, 14024, 14031, 14040, 14041, 14044 and 14050.

For more information see: http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/iso9000-14000/index.html

There are also many books in the libraries about using ISO 9000 and ISO 14000.

Engineering Library Standards Database

http://db.lib.washington.edu/standards

This database is the only way to find out if we have a standard in our collection (other than looking on the shelf). Keep the searches very simple. This is a homegrown database, originally built on MS Access and then migrated to InMagic DBTextWorks. Julie C. maintains this and may assign a reference assistant to help with the updating.

Standards Sources not in Engineering Standards Database

1. SAE Handbook (Reference TL 151.S62)

Comprehensive index at the beginning of all three volumes.

These are the SAE J-series standards.
2. AASHTO Manuals/Handbooks: various titles- located in Engineering

Reference or in the Stacks. Check in the catalog. I.e.: Guide for design of pavement structures; LRFD bridge construction specifications; Maintenance manual.

3. Annual Book of ASTM Standards Most recent edition is in Engineering Standards at

620.1 AME. Older editions are in enstx at the same call number. The index volume is

0.01. It has a numeric and subject index to direct you to the correct volume for the

particular standard.

4. NAS (National Aerospace Standards) Standards (Engineering Standards

TL671.1 .A35)

5. Uniform Building Code 1992; Washington State Building Code Council.

(Engineering Reference TH224 .W23 1992)

Standards books/collections not in the Standards Area

1. SAE handbook (Reference TL 151.S62)

2. AASHTO Manuals/Handbooks (Engineering Reference – check the catalog)

3. ACI Manual of Concrete Practice (Engineering Reference TA681 .A64)

4. Uniform Building Code:1997 (Engineering Reference TH224 .W23 1997)

5. Federal or Military Specifications ("Mil-Specs", "Fed-Specs, " Mil Stds")

Many of these can be found online.
