Can I use IngesT data for free?▼
Yes — for non-commercial educational, research, and journalistic uses, IngesT public reference materials are available free of charge under attribution. Commercial use (in apps, AI assistants, healthcare platforms, etc.) requires a commercial integration agreement; contact details are at /partners/.
What attribution is required?▼
Attribution must include: "Reference: IngesT Orientation Framework v[VERSION]" (currently v1.0), a link to https://ingest.ro/standards/ or the specific standard used, and the publication date. For long-form references, include the version, date, and author/reviewer information from the standard's metadata.
Can I redistribute or modify IngesT Standards?▼

Commercial derivatives require explicit licensing.
