IEEE approved standards, unapproved and approved draft standards are available online to IEEE Standards Online and IEL subscribers.

You can get the standards in topically related collections, as subscriptions. For example, if you are interested in the Local and Metropolitan Area Network standards, you would subscribe to IEEE Standards Online, LAN/MAN subscription. You can also purchase standards individually through IEEE Xplore.

Unapproved and Approved draft standards are included as part of the IEEE Standards Online subscription package at no additional cost. IEL subscribers can purchase an add-on package that contains draft standards.

Not all versions of drafts are made available and drafts consisting of only updated text may be included. Therefore, the latest complete draft under development may not be provided.

Unapproved drafts are proposed IEEE Standards. As such, these documents are subject to change and should be used at your own risk. Because these drafts are unapproved, they must not be utilized for any conformance / compliance purposes.
