Harvard referencing a series of standards.

longtermrenter
I am able to sufficiently reference standards using the report style in Zotero but how do I generally reference a series of standards, that is, a group of them and not the individual standards? An example would be the IEC 61508 series which has 7 standards covering the functional safety of electrical equipment. The problem I can see is what do I do for the year? My thought is to take the year of the oldest standard, or the first one, and use that. Does anyone else have any other advice to offer?

    If you wanted to cite is as a range you can enter it in the extra field like so:
    issued: 2007-2014

    it's 2007/2014 for date ranges, I believe?

    That is really cool - it sorts it in the in-text citation as well. In the end, with this series, I found there was an index type document called IEC 61508-0 which listed the standards 1 through 7 so I just cited that in the end with the series name. But that is really helpful - such a good forum, thank you again.
