Yes, buying an individual standard is cheaper. But depending on the number of users, number of standards, the frequency with which a new version comes out, number of office locations and more, NEN Connect provides a financial advantage and especially a lot of convenience.

Moreover with NEN Connect, you have access to all versions of the standard, including withdrawn and all future versions.

Also, without a subscription, anyone can view the freely available standards without restriction, in full.

If you purchase a standard - digital or paper - you can only make one print version as a (working) copy, and only for your own use. This (working) copy may not be shared with others. NEN allows 1 working copy so that you can make notes, comments, markings, etc. on your copy and have another original clean version of the standard.

NEN offers users of NEN Connect opportunities to make extensive use of NEN standards in a legal manner. By means of a license agreement, multiple users can use the standards for which you have a license. The number of users depends entirely on what is agreed upon with NEN.

Moreover, in NEN Connect you can also share your notes, in the standard itself (HTML version), with your colleagues. This allows you and your colleagues to share valuable information with each other and work even smarter with standards.

This may also be standards to which you do not have access, but would like to know the status.

Furthermore, you can enrich even more in NEN Connect, such as adding comments at the standards level, adding your own keywords to a standard, marking standards as personal favorites, and more!
