Keeping up with changes to external standards

I’m looking for a service that will notify me whenever a relevant external standard is updated. By ‘external standard’ I mean all of the various standards to which our company complies For example:
IEC­_60601
ISO_10939
ISO_10940
MDD_93-42-EEC

Our company has about 30 different standards to keep up with, and I'm sure there's got to be a service that will notify me whenever there is a change.

I appreciate the knowledge and feedback from the group!

Thank you,
Andrea

Thank you for your feedback! With 30 standards to keep up with, the relatively low fee charged by IHS seems worth it.

I received a great tip years ago about these types of documents. The tip was to design the system so that you could report revision on hand and current revision reported by your document supplier. Within your document control procedure indicate that 3rd party documents are only procured when your organization determines it is needed or its use is contractually required. By using this tip you will purchase a revised standard as it is needed and not when it is revised.

Or if you don´t want to spend money then you will have to do the verification on your own, e.g. assigning per procedure an individual with the responsibility to check revision status from time to time (e.g. every quarter or more often). The check could be done by visiting the web site of the publisher to detect changes if any. This task is not as good as the other ones you were offered before, but it is another option.

for ISO documents it is possible to set an RSS feed alert from either the standard itself or the committee

these can be set to feed into RSS pst folder in Microsoft Outlook 2007 / 2010 - this will give you an early warning if an ISO standard is undergoing review

eg ISO TC 176 can be set from here by clicking the orange box just to the right of the title quality management & quality assurance
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_tc_browse.htm?commid=53882

at the following ISO page you can choose your field of interest & click through till you find what you are after - and again click the orange box just to the right of the title
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_ics.htm

you can also set an alert RSS feed by clicking on the ISO page for that standard eg for ISO 9001 - click on the orange box just to the right of ISO 9001-2008
http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=46486

if you go to the IEC website you can set up email & RSS feed alerts on new standards

http://www.iec.ch/subscribe/
and for individual publications you can set RSS feeds from here
