PHILADELPHIA, 20 July 2007. Thomson Scientific, part of The Thomson Corporation and provider of information solutions to the research and business communities, has added Military and Federal Specifications and Standards to Techstreet, a source for industry codes and standards for engineering and technical professionals.

The Military and Federal Specifications and Standards Collection includes active, unclassified U.S. standardization documents with the designations MIL, FED, JANS, QPL, MS, AND, ANA, AN, USAF, NAF, DESC/SMD, DID, CID, and FIPS. This latest feature will benefit industries that design, manufacture, or sell products to the U.S. government, including aerospace and defense, civil engineering and construction, and information technology.

"Having quick and easy access to military and federal specifications and standards can shorten product time to market, as well as increase the capability of organizations quoting on government bids," says David Brown, executive vice president, Thomson Scientific, Corporate Markets.

Techstreet uses web-based technologies to speed delivery of industry codes and standards to engineers and technical professionals worldwide. Techstreet also provides automatic updates and e-mail alerts when documents are revised by the government, saving time and ensuring current content for all users.
