IGES is an NBS publication. I got IGES v3.0 (NBSIR-3359) from
US Department Of Commerce
National Technical Information Service
Springfield, Virginia 22161
The cost was about $40. I believe that version 4 is now available.

You can get a copy of the format directly from the
U.S. Department of Commerce
National Bureau of Standards
NAtional Engineering Library
Gaithersburg, MD 20899
The phone I have is old but may still be valid 301-975-2000
You need to have a fedral tax ID number and the cost was (for version
4.0) $50.
This *IS* the format, but it can be difficult to understand. The standard
was designed by commitee and therefore is VERY flexible and contains
many ambiguities.
I have worked with IGES for many years and the company I currently
work for markets an IGES to Postscript Translator. If I can be of
any help please mail me at (karen@ice.com)
Good Luck
Karen
PS. the standard takes 4-6 weeks to arrive.
