In the US you can buy ISO standards from ANSI, see
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/default.asp

The documents you want are ISO 9075-nnn.  The ANSI price list shows
two sets, ISO/IEC 9075-n:1999 and ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-n-1999.  The
difference between them is not obvious (except for the huge price
differential!?).  I've been trying to find out what the difference
is, if any, but no luck yet.
