This is not a specific LaTeX question, hence why I post it here.
I am typing a report for a project. I use multiple sections of a handbook (say, page 113-116, a bit later 389-390, etc.). What is the proper way to deal with this? Should I include a separate citation for each? I've looked at the IEEE editorial standard but they don't mention this.
LaTeX thing: If yes, is there a way to do it with bibtex without copy-pasting the entire thing in my .bib file and just changing page number?
In LaTeX you can simply write:
Bla bla bla \cite[p.~3]{ReferenceKey}.
which produces
Bla bla bla [1, p. 3].
where [1] corresponds to key ReferenceKey.

In the IEEE editorial standard you linked to, you will find the answer on page one in the books section. Example [2] says:
[2] L. Stein, “Random patterns,” in Computers and You, J. S. Brake, Ed. New York: Wiley, 1994, pp. 55-70.
Computers and You is the book title. "Random patterns" is the cited section/chapter.
If you wanted to cite another section/chapter of the same book (let's say with title "X", author A. Nobody and on pages 100-110) you would have to add a second reference in the bibliography:
[3] A. Nobody, “X,” in Computers and You, J. S. Brake, Ed. New York: Wiley, 1994, pp. 100-110.
