According to the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG13  page,

http://sc22wg13.twi.tudelft.nl/

ISO/IEC 10514-1 (Modula-2, Base Language) 

has been published per 1996-06-01. You might also find the FAQ to be of
interest.

Mind you, given its controversy (the US, Netherlands, and Japan opposed
the standard), size (reportedly over 700 pages), reputed complexity, and
relative lack of popularity, the language standard may not prove to be
useful. As the US voted against the standard I suspect that it is not
available through ANSI (of interest to US readers though not probably of
interest to an Australian), though you should be able to get a copy
through the ISO.
