Nautos Collections: More efficiency for your projects

We have expanded our products and services and have renamed the BEST Collection as the Nautos Collections. This change reflects the enhanced convenience and efficiency of using document packages with our Nautos software solution. Subscriptions for entire collections of standards can be found under the designation Nautos Collections – Technical Rules, and document packages sorted according to ICS classification are categorized as Nautos Collections – ICS. The Nautos Collections – Specialized Topics offer an additional option – perfect if you require a curated compilation of documents on specific topics.

Save the time you used to spend searching for the necessary documents and add the appropriate Nautos Collections simply and flexibly to your Nautos subscription:

NEW: Nautos Collections – Specialized Topics: curated and compiled specifically for your area of expertise.
Nautos Collections – Technical Rules: complete collections of standards, comprehensive and easily accessible.
Nautos Collections – ICS: systematically structured according to internationally recognized sorting systems and classified by industry.

Our clearly structured subscription model reduces your costs compared to buying the documents individually - provided you have subscribed to our Nautos software solution. In which case, you will also benefit from documents that are updated weekly.

With the Nautos software, you can use our Nautos Collections conveniently and efficiently. The simple handling and direct access to your documents allow you to work smoothly. An intuitive user interface and powerful search and filter functions make it easy to navigate and find relevant content. Regular automatic updates ensure that your standards documents are always up to date.

It is possible to use the Nautos Collections with a multi-user licence. Of course, the reproduction rights of the respective publisher must also be taken into account. In all matters relating to licences please contact our Team Standards Worldwide.
