The Standards Library gives you the full text of the building standards and codes your organization has access to, searchable by clause and readable right alongside the calculators that reference them. You’ll find it under Standards in the left-hand navigation, between Builder and Integrate. No separate login or setup step is required; if your organization has access to a standard, it appears here automatically.

What you’ll see

Opening Standards takes you to Standards and Codes, a card grid of every standard your organization has access to. Each card shows:
  • Designation and title: for example AS 2118.6:2026, Automatic fire sprinkler systems, Part 6
  • Status: a badge such as [Current]
  • Published and Updated dates
  • Amendment notes, where relevant (for example, “Includes Amendment 1”)
  • A document type chip, such as Full Standard
Standards and Codes landing page showing a grid of standard cards with designation, title, status badge, and Full Standard chip
A search box sits at the top of the page. It searches the actual clause and table content of every standard you have access to, not just titles. See Searching Standards and Clauses.

​
What’s included in your access

The standards shown are whatever your organization is licensed for; this can include Australian Standards (AS and AS/NZS), and other codes depending on your subscription. What you can do with a standard beyond reading and searching it (printing, downloading) depends on your organization’s license type for that specific standard; see Standards Licensing & Copyright.

Request a standard that isn’t in your library

Standards coverage expands over time. Calcs.com can’t offer full-text access to every standard or edition yet. If a standard you need doesn’t appear under Standards and Codes, it may not have been added to the Standards Library, or it may not be included in your organization’s access. Calcs.com uses these requests to decide which standards to add next. To request a missing standard, email support@calcs.com with:
  1. The standard designation and version or edition you need.
  2. How you access it today, for example a separate subscription or printed copies.
  3. Roughly how many users in your organization need it.
There’s no fixed timeline for adding new standards. A request helps Calcs.com prioritize, but it doesn’t guarantee a standard or edition will be added.
If you could previously open a standard and it no longer appears, contact support@calcs.com with the standard designation so the team can check your organization’s access. To see which standards the calculators are designed to, see Check Which Standards Are Available.

Where else you’ll run into it

The Standards Library isn’t only a standalone reference; it’s woven into the calculators themselves. Every design check traces back to the clause it’s based on:
