COVERAGE, NOT MARKETING COUNTS

What is actually indexed today.

Counts represent metadata records held by this build. A record means an identifier and catalogue entry, not a licensed copy of the standard.

How to read these numbers

China counts come from the merged standards database used by the search and detail pages. International counts come from the per-market catalogue files served by the library. Duplicate records can exist when one standard appears under multiple regulations or editions.

Known gaps are stated, not hidden

Not every national catalogue is available under a public machine-readable interface. Markets without a reliable official source remain unindexed. A missing market is treated as a research task, not an invitation to extrapolate.

Update discipline

Status, replacement and publication metadata are refreshed from source catalogues in batches. For a transaction, tender or conformity decision, open the official record on the day you rely on it.
