Ecma formal publications

Two types of formal publications are prepared by Ecma:
The Ecma historical archive which contains the scanned copies of all withdrawn Ecma Standards is available here.
A Standard or a Technical Report is a formal document prepared
by an Ecma Technical Committee and approved by the Ecma General
Assembly. A majority of at least two-thirds of all the ordinary
members is required for approval.
Ecma International often submits its Standards to ISO/IEC JTC 1's fast track approval procedure which adheres to the WTO TBT guidelines.
Ecma Standards and Technical Reports are made available to all
interested persons or organizations, free of charge and copyright,
in printed form and, as files in Acrobat ® PDF format.
How to obtain Ecma publications
WARNINGS
The liability and responsibility for the implementation
of an Ecma Standard rests with the implementor, and not with Ecma.
However, implementors might want to consult the
Ecma "Code of conduct in
patent matters".
Only the printed version or the PDF file can
be considered an official version of the formal document.
