I have heard that IPC standards for PCB development are not available to download for free. I am not sure if that is true ? Is there any restriction to download and see the IPC standards for PCB development ?

Like most other standards they are not free. Another great example is Underwriters Laboratories. All their standards cost and they’re not cheap. I think even government standards (MIL, DOT, DOE, FCC, etc.) are not free but I’d need to check to be sure. It appears FCC for example allows electronic access but charges for a hard copy. Looks like MIL specs are mostly the same way. SAE and ANSI both charge for their specs. EIA costs. NEMA costs. IEEE costs. Even NHRA charges for their specs.
