Currently we are using a lot of international and American Standards.
My question is how do you know that the particular standard has been revised. What would be the best way? The only way I know is that we check the websites or wait for the standard issuing organization!
Responses are appriciated.:thanks:

Ideally, you get them to tell you: some of the organisattions now have a 'notify me' feature that you can sign up for (via the web), which is good because saves you having to go and find out. eg, SAI's 'Standards Watch (http://infostore.saiglobal.com/store/GetPage.aspx?path=/publishing/shop/pages/AboutSWatch.htm)' - you don't even have to be a customer to use it.

If you can't / don't want to use something like that , you'd need some kind of schedule, or perhaps impose a regular check. Or even write into the procedure 'check it's current'.

Some companies have someone designated to do that, who stamps it as 'checked on <date>'. In the old days, it was probably called a librarian.
