All ISO standards are copyrighted documents, but I don't know what their rules are for things like making copies for in-house use. Typically copyright documents are not allowed to be copied in whole, while a page or paragraph is considered OK. I *assume* that passing a copy around to different people to read as one would a book is OK.

This is my interpretation so others may clarify or correct me.

ISO have a copyright policy document for download as a pdf via this link http://www.iso.org/iso/copyright.htm.

Interestingly for the OP it's adapted from "Navigating Copyright in a Digital World" by the National Standards Council of Canada (with their permission of course :).
