IEEE Standards Distributors have considerable flexibility in how they package and sell IEEE standards products to their markets. IEEE published standards, drafts, family sets and collections are all available as part of the Distributor Partner Program in various formats:
- Print-on-Demand
- Electronic (PDF) download
- Hard copy material (for selected standards inventoried products)
- Redline Standards which provide via redlined text the changes made in the most recent Standard document from the previous version of the document
- IEEE defined Standards subscriptions collections
- Custom Collections whereby each Distributor can define specific IEEE standards to be included in a package for customers, based on either distributor decisions or requests from your customers
