British Standards (BSOL)
To log in please click on the Institutional login link, select Loughborough University from the list and log in with your usual University credentials. Please note BSOL documents can only be opened with a plug-in installed on your device (File Open). The File Open plug-in has been installed on University lab machines and is available via the Software Centre to those using the University’s managed desktop service. To download it onto your own device the BSI have provided this guide Please be aware that the FileOpen plug-in does not support opening encrypted PDFs in-browser. In order to view the PDF, it must be opened in Adobe PDF viewer, FileOpen viewer, or similar PDF viewer applications. Please see section 3 of the guide for further information.
