Anyone involved with clinical investigation should have a copy of the ISO 14155:2020 standard because it contains everything that is needed on good clinical practice, GCP. But it can be expensive if you buy it in the wrong place.
In this article, you will learn where to buy the standard for a fraction of the price compared to major outlets.
The official ISO website offers PDF, EPUB, redlined, and paper format, and combinations of those for the following prices:
| Format | Language | Price |
|---|---|---|
|
PDF+EPUB
|
English / French
|
CHF 198 (EUR ~189)
|
|
PDF+EPUB+REDLINE
|
English / French
|
CHF 238 (EUR ~227)
|
|
PAPER
|
English / French

There are also other places where you can get access to the ISO 14155:2020, such as:
- ANSI (EUR 200-300 depending on the language and format)
- Swedish Standards Institute (EUR ~210)
- British Standards Institution (EUR ~340)
The good news is that there is a more affordable option and that is buying a copy from the Estonian Centre for standardisation and accreditation. The price there is much lower than on the official ISO website or elsewhere. And the standard is still in English.
