How can I reference online standards?

Answer

New Zealand, Australian, United Kingdom and International standards are not included in APA Manual 7th ed. Treat these standards in a similar way to a grey literature/report.

Reference format:

Organisation name. (Year). Title of the standard (Standard number). Publisher. URL

Note: Omit the publisher from the reference when it is the same as the author.

For example: 

External Reporting Board. (2020). Quality control for an audit of financial statements (ISA [NZ] 220). https://www.xrb.govt.nz/dmsdocument/3705

Standards New Zealand. (2020). Lighting for roads and public spaces, Part 3.1: Pedestrian area (Category P) lighting - Performance and design requirements (AS/NZS 1158.3.1:2020). https://shop.standards.govt.nz/
