General

To cite an ISO Standard, you can use identifiers as the citation key.

The identifiers start with the publisher abbreviation ISO:

ISO 690:2010

Dated and undated references

If you need to cite a specific year of an ISO Standard, use identifiers with the year:

ISO 690-2:1997

Without the year, the latest version of the standard will be cited.

Co-published standards

Co-publishers, such as ISO/IEC, ISO/IEEE, etc., are supported:

ISO/IEC 27001:2013
ISO/IEEE 11073-20702:2018

Stages

Document stage can be used in identifiers published by ISO, such as ISO/WD, or in the case of ISO/IEC, ISO/IEC WD:

ISO/WD 9139
ISO/IEC WD 29128-3

Types

Document types can be used in identifiers published by ISO, such as ISO/TR, or in the case of ISO/IEC, ISO/IEC TR:

ISO/TR 20123:2023
ISO/IEC TR 7052:2023

Document types can also be used in identifiers along with the stage, such as ISO/WD TR and ISO/IEC WD TR:

ISO/WD TR 19626-3
ISO/IEC WD TR 20000-17

Amendments and corrigenda

The identifier can include a year and amendment/corrigendum.

ISO 690:2010/Amd 1:2018
ISO/IEC 23003-1:2007/Amd 1:2008/Cor 3:2015

Parts

Some ISO Standards can have multiple parts. To cite a certain part of an ISO Standard, use an identifier with a part number:

ISO 690-2:1997

To cite all parts of the ISO Standard, use an identifier without part and year, and add the (all parts) option to it:

ISO 690 (all parts)
