You may find a reference library that keeps BSI specs for inspection, but they are only allowed to supply copies under special circumstances. The library at the Marconi Research Centre where I used to work had them on CD-ROM. They could only be inspected on a dedicated terminal with a hi-res A3 monochrome screen to allow two pages to be viewed side by side. Hard copies could only be supplied for things like legal proceedings, and were printed on special paper pre-printed at top and bottom of each page in red with a warning that they were to be destroyed when no longer required for the particular purpose for which they had been created.
