@uint8_t In March 2024, the was a ruling by the European Court of Justice, which basically said that all standards that are mandatory for products must be free of charge.

I just looked up what's the current state of this:

There is now an official web site where you can request free access to european standards, and access those that were sucessfully requested by others: https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/documents-request/home

It explicitly says that everyone may use it, not just people in the EU.
