Subfamilies
- Standard S LightThe people who use the item or service (engineers, trade unions, etc.) or specify it (building codes, government, industry, etc.) have the responsibility to consider the available standards, specify the correct one, enforce compliance, and use the item correctly.
- Standard M LightTechnical standards may exist as public documents on the internet, public library, etc. Some technical standards may be found at a major central library or at the library of a good technical university
- Standard L LightANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard S Light ObliqueThe ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
- Standard M Light ObliqueA technical standard may be developed privately or unilaterally, for example by a corporation, regulatory body, military, etc. Standards can also be developed by groups such as trade unions and trade associations.
- Standard L Light ObliqueNot all technical standards are created equal. In the development of a technical standard, private standards adopt a non-consensus process in comparison to voluntary consensus standards.
- Standard S RegularIn social sciences, including economics, a standard is useful if it is a solution to a coordination problem: it emerges from situations in which all parties realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions.
- Standard M RegularWhen a geographically defined community must solve a community-wide coordination problem, it can adopt an existing standard or produce a new one.
- Standard L RegularPDF was first created in 1993 by Adobe. Adobe internal standards were part of its software quality systems, but they were neither published nor coordinated by a standards body.
- Standard S Regular ObliqueThe IBM Personal Computer: by one year after its 1981 release, John Dvorak described the PC as rapidly becoming a de facto standard microcomputer. With the MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems, it gained a large share of the personal computer market.
- Standard M Regular ObliqueMIDI connection (using DIN connector or Phone connector), electrical and protocol standard for connecting musical instruments, synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and some audio equipment.
- Standard L Regular ObliqueMicrosoft Word DOC. Due to the market dominance of Word, it is supported by all office applications that intend to compete with it, typically by reverse engineering the undocumented file format.
- Standard S MediumANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard M MediumPrivate standards are developed by private entities such as companies, non-governmental organizations or private sector multi-stakeholder initiatives, also referred to as multistakeholder governance.
- Standard L MediumPCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard S Medium ObliqueTechnical standards may exist as published documents available for purchase or private documents owned by an organization or corporation, used and circulated as the owner determines necessary or useful
- Standard M Medium ObliqueTechnical standards may exist as published documents available for purchase or private documents owned by an organization or corporation, used and circulated as the owner determines necessary or useful
- Standard L Medium ObliqueIn social sciences a voluntary standard that is also a de facto standard is a typical solution to a coordination problem. The choice of a de facto standard tends to be stable in situations in which all parties can realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions. In contrast, an enforced de jure standard is a solution to the prisoner's problem.
- Standard S SemiboldNot all technical standards are created equal. In the development of a technical standard, private standards adopt a non-consensus process in comparison to voluntary consensus standards.
- Standard M SemiboldA technical standard is an established norm or requirement for a repeatable technical task which is applied to a common and repeated use of rules, conditions, guidelines or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods, and related management systems practices.
- Standard L SemiboldOther standards make things work together. For example, rail cars with a standard gauge can run on tracks that follow the same standard.
- Standard S Semibold ObliqueA technical standard includes definition of terms; classification of components; delineation of procedures; specification of dimensions, materials, performance, designs, or operations; measurement of quality and quantity in describing materials, processes, products, systems, services, or practices; test methods and sampling procedures; or descriptions of fit and measurements of size or strength.
- Standard M Semibold ObliqueBecause of the great influence of the IBM PC on the personal computer market, competing products like the Rainbow 100 were eventually withdrawn.
- Standard L Semibold ObliquePCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard S BoldThe ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
- Standard M BoldIn contrast, a custom, convention, company product, corporate standard, and so forth that becomes generally accepted and dominant is often called a de facto standard.
- Standard L BoldPrivate standards are developed by private entities such as companies, non-governmental organizations or private sector multi-stakeholder initiatives, also referred to as multistakeholder governance.
- Standard S Bold ObliqueAutoCAD DXF, an ASCII format for import and export of CAD drawings and fragments in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 2000s, XML based standards emerged as de facto standards.
- Standard M Bold ObliqueStandard units, in physics and applied mathematics, are commonly accepted measurements of physical quantities.
- Standard L Bold ObliqueA standard is a basis for comparison. Standards are made either by many people that agree on something, or if some organisation makes it so.
- Standard S HeavyMIDI connection (using DIN connector or Phone connector), electrical and protocol standard for connecting musical instruments, synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and some audio equipment.
- Standard M HeavyIn 1928, the AESC became the American Standards Association (ASA). In 1966, the ASA was reorganized and became United States of America Standards Institute (USASI). The present name was adopted in 1969.
- Standard L HeavyTechnical standards are defined as voluntary consensus standards, which are standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, domestic (national), regional and international.
- Standard S Heavy ObliqueANSI was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
- Standard M Heavy ObliqueMicrosoft Word DOC. Due to the market dominance of Word, it is supported by all office applications that intend to compete with it, typically by reverse engineering the undocumented file format.
- Standard L Heavy ObliqueStandards organizations often have more diverse input and usually develop voluntary standards: these might become mandatory if adopted by a government (i.e., through legislation), business contract, etc.
- Standard S BlackPCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard M BlackA standard test method describes a definitive procedure that produces a test result. It may involve making a careful personal observation or conducting a highly technical measurement.
- Standard L BlackA standard is a basis for comparison. Standards are made either by many people that agree on something, or if some organisation makes it so.
- Standard S Black ObliquePrivate standards typically require a financial contribution in terms of an annual fee from the organizations who adopt the standard. Corporations are encouraged to join the board of governance of the standard owner.
- Standard M Black ObliqueA technical standard is an established norm or requirement for a repeatable technical task which is applied to a common and repeated use of rules, conditions, guidelines or characteristics for products or related processes and production methods, and related management systems practices.
- Standard L Black ObliqueBNC for medium frequency signal in electronic engineering testing (commonly used by signal generators, oscilloscopes, multimeters, etc.) and sometimes in video signal delivery between devices in studios and other professional settings.
