Payment by card is secure and SSL protocol protected. This protects the personal data on your card exchanged during a verification
process.
Verification relates to the card's validity: card not stolen and card not expired, and authorization to debit the card holder's account for the amount
of your order.
Once the transaction verification is validated, you MUST return to the AFNOR online store to take delivery of your documents in electronic format.
If the transaction verification is not validated, you will receive an error message informing you about the nature of the problem. In this case, your order is not confirmed.
If necessary, contact AFNOR online store using the form provided. We then suggest that you return to the Sales space in the AFNOR online store.
Payment is made by cheque or by bank transfer on receipt of invoice.
An invoice is issued for each order placed in the AFNOR online store.

The account balance is displayed before and after an order in progress.
If the balance in your account drops to €100, you are asked to replenish it.
For management of the online account: opening the account, replenishing it and the benefits linked to it, see the "Online account" section of the FAQ.
Note: an invoice is issued by AFNOR on each order, even in the case of an order paid for via your 'Standards and published materials' account. In this case the invoice states the payment on the account and the net amount to be paid is calculated based on the balance in the account on issue of the invoice.

If you want to refine your search from the start, select a category in the drop-down menu next to the search field then click the search icon.
The results can be sorted by relevance, alphanumerically, by publication date or by number of sales using the "Sort by" drop-down menu.
The search wizard operates in the same way as the criteria-based search.

No. It is important to distinguish between standardization and certification.
Certification of a company requires an audit performed by a certification body.
For the audit to be validated, it is essential that the company conforms to the requirements of the standard relative to the certification you wish to obtain. It is therefore necessary to buy the standard to know the content and specific points.
To possess the complete standard, in some cases you must be able to procure the base standard and any additions to it. The additional text is no use without the base standard.
The technical content of supplements is not necessarily incorporated into the text of a standard, and this choice is made by the standardization commission responsible for the field in question.
NF: French standard
NF EN: French standard developed from European systems
NF ISO: French standard developed from international systems
NF EN ISO: French standard developed from international then European systems. In other words, an international standard that has been reproduced at European level and then at French level.
