How to cite a standard

PinkLady321 · March 3, 2016

How can I cite a standard like (EN ISO 9001) or other acts/regulations of the EU? The category "law" doesn´t fit well. And a norm is actually not a law.

For the answer is important, which style you use. I usually use type Report and majority of my articles use for citing ISO690 style.

(and we have general plans to add a standard item type, though that might not happen super fast.

Thank for your quick reply!

I´m not sure which style i´m gonna use. For me it is important, that the number of the standard is at the beginning of the cite.
f.e.: "DIN EN ISO 9000 (2000): Qualitätsmanagmentsysteme-Grundlagen und Begriffe. Berlin

no style does that in a reasonable way. Put that information in the author field and it'll work decently well.

Thank you adamsmith. That works well! :-)
