I am not certain if you want the '02 or the '85 Standard (with amendments).
The ISO 2002 Standard is the current "official" version. There is an ANSI
(sort-of - sort-of INCITS) version of it. For a while you could get this
for free, but now you need to buy it. The INCITS version (for $30USD) can
be obtained at:
http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=INCITS%2fISO%2fIEC+1989-2002
you can also get the official ISO version of the same document but it is
MUCH more expensive. Check out:
http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?Sku=ISO/IEC%201989:2002&PageType=
0
If what you REALLY want is the '85 Standard, there are places you can still
buy it (in the ANSI online store).

I thought that I had actually found the old "free FDIS" somewhere on the web
within the last year or so - but I can't find it now. Others in this list
may know if it is still available.
