Subfamilies
- Standard S LightAccording to Adam Stanton, the first permanent secretary and head of staff in 1919, AESC started as an ambitious program and little else. Staff for the first year consisted of one executive, Clifford B. LePage, who was on loan from a founding member, ASME.
- Standard M LightThe ANSI for eye protection is Z87.1, which gives a specific impact resistance rating to the eyewear. This standard is commonly used for shop glasses, shooting glasses, and many other examples of protective eyewear.
- Standard L LightTeX typesetting system, commonly used in creating scientific articles and reports for publication (in fact many journals require the publication to be fully written in TeX)
- Standard S Light 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 Light 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 L Light 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 RegularThe existence of a published standard does not imply that it is always useful or correct. For example, if an item complies with a certain standard, there is not necessarily assurance that it is fit for any particular use.
- Standard M RegularMicrosoft has repeatedly internally changed the file specification between versions of Word to suit their own needs, while continuing to reuse the same file extension identifier for different versions.
- Standard L RegularMicrosoft 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 Regular ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard M Regular ObliqueStandards often get reviewed, revised and updated on a regular basis. It is critical that the most current version of a published standard be used or referenced.
- Standard L Regular ObliqueIn 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 S MediumVoluntary consensus standards quicken the market acceptance of products while making clear how to improve the safety of those products for the protection of consumers.
- Standard M MediumPhone connector (3.5 mm jack), RCA and XLR connectors, used in the audio industry for connecting audio equipment such as headphones, mixing desks, microphones, stage lighting, etc.
- Standard L MediumAccording to Adam Stanton, the first permanent secretary and head of staff in 1919, AESC started as an ambitious program and little else. Staff for the first year consisted of one executive, Clifford B. LePage, who was on loan from a founding member, ASME.
- Standard S Medium ObliqueFor example, there may be a specification for a turbine blade for a jet engine that defines the exact material and performance requirements.
- Standard M Medium 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 Medium ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard S SemiboldGPIB, multi-device bus protocol, mechanical and electronic interface commonly found in electronic test equipment, e.g. digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc. Initially created by Hewlett Hewlett-Packard as HP-IP. Commonly used with SCPI protocol.
- Standard M SemiboldTechnical standards may exist as closed or controlled documents that contain trade secrets or classified information
- Standard L SemiboldIn 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 S Semibold ObliqueFor example, a physical property of a material is often affected by the precise method of testing: any reference to the property should therefore reference the test method used.
- Standard M Semibold ObliqueThese standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way.
- Standard L Semibold ObliqueThe ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
- Standard S BoldANSI was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
- Standard M BoldMIDI 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 BoldA standard specification is an explicit set of requirements for an item, material, component, system or service. It is often used to formalize the technical aspects of a procurement agreement or contract.
- Standard S Bold ObliqueA de facto standard is a custom or convention that is commonly used even though its use is not required. De facto is a Latin phrase meaning in practice but not necessarily ordained by law, or in practice or actuality, but not officially established.
- Standard M Bold 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 Bold ObliqueThere are many different standards in many fields of daily life. Standards are important so that correct comparisons can be produced.
- Standard S HeavyNot 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 HeavyTechnical barriers arise when different groups come together, each with a large user base, doing some well established thing that between them is mutually incompatible.
- Standard L HeavyUSB for high speed serial interface in computers and for powering or charging low power external devices (like mobile phones, headphones, portable hard drives) usually using micro USB plug and socket.
- Standard S Heavy ObliqueThe 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 Heavy ObliqueMicrosoft has repeatedly internally changed the file specification between versions of Word to suit their own needs, while continuing to reuse the same file extension identifier for different versions.
- Standard L Heavy ObliqueTechnical barriers arise when different groups come together, each with a large user base, doing some well established thing that between them is mutually incompatible.
- Standard S BlackStandards often get reviewed, revised and updated on a regular basis. It is critical that the most current version of a published standard be used or referenced.
- Standard M BlackTeX typesetting system, commonly used in creating scientific articles and reports for publication (in fact many journals require the publication to be fully written in TeX)
- Standard L BlackUse of programming languages R and Python in science and engineering disciplines, other than computer science, where automated analysis of data is required, while remaining simple enough for a non-professional.
- Standard S Black ObliqueOther standards make things work together. For example, rail cars with a standard gauge can run on tracks that follow the same standard.
- Standard M Black ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard L Black ObliqueMIDI connection (using DIN connector or Phone connector), electrical and protocol standard for connecting musical instruments, synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and some audio equipment.
