SFS Online

Finnish Standards Association SFS online library. MetCat Finna does not contain links to individual standards, search SFS Online to read the required standards.

Select the link below based on whether you are on campus (Metropolia network) or at home (remote access).

In SFS Online you can read SFS standards which are included in the product groups subscribed to by the library (for example 11 Health care technology).

• You can also read ISO and IEC standards included in these groups when they have been adopted as SFS standards (for example SFS-EN ISO 9001).
• In addition, some individual ISO and IEC standards are also available.

Read

On campus (within Metropolia network) you can read standards in a browser.

To read standards remotely, you need to install the FileOpen plugin. See instructions below.
