Your DIN Media

A look inside the standard - view documents without obligation before purchasing

This service gives you the opportunity to check whether the contents of a DIN standard cover your needs and contain the information you require. Make sure that the standard meets your expectations before you decide to make a purchase.

It’s simple!

Your benefits at a glance

View documents before purchase
Familiarize yourself with the content of a standard without any obligation to purchase it. It helps you decide if the standard is really the one you need.

Available for all DIN Standards
All searchable DIN standards in the DIN Media Webshop are available for "Look inside the standard".

Flexible and individual time quota
For 20 minutes, you have access to as many standards as you like. After the 20 minutes is up, you can buy a new time quota at any time. You have 12 months to use up the time you have purchased.

How “Look inside the standard” works

Select a standard

Log in to our DIN Media Webshop and search for the required DIN standard. Click on the standard to go directly to the corresponding standards page.

Activating “Look inside the standard”

Click on “Activate Look inside the standard” and then “Add to basket”. Continue by clicking on “To basket” and then completing the purchase.

Viewing documents

After completing the purchase, return to the detail page by clicking the link, or call up the standard again using the search function. Then click on “Look inside the standard” to open the document and begin your research.

  • No. DIN Media has not received permission from VDE-Verlag to offer their standards in electronic form. This means that the "Look inside the standard" service is not possible for documents with VDE classification.

  • You have 12 months to use up the time you have purchased. After one year, any time left will be cancelled.

  • Yes, you can. Although not in one and the same order, as the quantity in the shopping basket cannot be changed when you select "Look inside the standard". Instead, you can place several orders in a row.
    Our recommendation is to use up the 20 minutes first and buy a further 20 minutes if you need it.

  • No. The time quota for the "Look inside the standard" service is exclusive to one person. This means that your time quota can only be used with your personal access data.

    If a colleague would also like to view standards, they need to register in the DIN Media Webshop (if not already done) and book their own time quota.

  • If you have opened the standards view and switch to another tab without closing the view or the entire page first, then the time continues to run.

    For this reason, we recommend that you always close the view correctly or pause it by clicking on the pause button.

    If you close the DIN Media Webshop completely (intentionally or due to a system failure), the time will also stop running.
