The main annual catalogue published by DIN is the DIN-Katalog für technische Regeln,
edited by the DITR-Datenbank der DIN-Software GmbH. Volume 1 of the DIN Catalogue
represents the single most comprehensive printed source of information on the technical
rules which are valid in Germany; volume 2 contains the corresponding references to inter-
national collections of technical rules. Both volumes are also available on CD-ROM.
The technical rules listed in this catalogue are not only DIN Standards and documents pub-
lished by other regulatory bodies, but also those statutory provisions (laws, regulations,
etc.) that contain technical specifications. The titles of the documents are in many cases
given in both German and English.
DIN publishes a monthly journal, the DIN-MITTEILUNGEN + elektronorm which, besides
featuring articles and reports on standards work in Germany and abroad, also includes a
gazette of new publications and other activities in the field of technical rules, the DIN-An-
zeiger für technische Regeln.
In addition to the printed products, DITR also offers a large number of other services. For

Translations of German standards
DIN-Sprachendienst, the language services section of DIN, publishes official English trans-
lations of the most important DIN Standards. These translations may be purchased singly
or on a subscription basis.
In addition to the printed translations, the Auslandsnormen-Service (Foreign Standards
Sales Section) maintains a large collection of typescript translations in English, French and
Spanish which outside companies and organizations have been authorized to prepare, but
which have not been reviewed by DIN. The essential bibliographic data of all available trans-
lations, in both printed and typescript formats (2005: 18,500), are referenced in the trans-
lations catalogue published annually as Volume 3 of the main DIN-Katalog für technische
Regeln.
Printed translations are to be ordered from Beuth Verlag (or, for customers outside Ger-
many, from their respective national standards body) and typescript translations from Aus-
landsnormen-Service.
