Standards portal will be closed

Perinorm instead of e-researchCenter

Our contract with the standards portal e-researchCenter will expire at the end of 2019. From 1 January 2020, it will no longer be available at the TUM for searching DIN standards.

Instead, the Perinorm platform (and from October 2022 the Nautos platform) will take over this function. In both platforms, you can search for the full texts of DIN standards and VDI guidelines. You will also find the complete DWA regulations.

Access to Perinorm
As a TUM member, you can conveniently log into the database on your own computer with your TUM ID via eAccess: Start Standards Portal with eAccess

External library patrons can access Perinorm at public computers in our branch libraries. They are only allowed to view and consult DIN standards. Reproductions – whether by copying, printing, filming, photographing, transcribing, scanning, data transfer, etc. – are not permitted for external users due to licensing.

Update October 2022
Perinorm was replaced by its successor product Nautos at the end of September 2022.
