The Technical Standards Division is also responsible for the publication of PNG Standards. The Standards can be in both hard copy and electronic form. All published Standards are maintained by the Institute through the Division. The reference copy of these Standards are maintained and shelved at the Standards Information and Sales Center for public display and viewing.

The Division and its TCs do schedule Forums and Workshops from which it issues Official Notice as part of public launching of the newly published PNG Standards. NISIT Official Newsletters and PNGS Catalogue provide another publicity medium for publicity purposes of the established and newly or  recently published Standards.

Types of Standards

Standards are of two types: Voluntary Standards – Standards which are used on voluntary basis and Mandatory Standards - Standards which are bonded on (Technical) Regulations. The Mandatory Standards are regulated by respective Regulators as per their respective Technical Regulations. However, the Institute is only charged with the responsibility of developing and publishing National standards, which are deemed to be voluntary in nature.
