Subfamilies
- Standard S LightMicrosoft 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 M LightTechnical 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 LightIn 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 Light ObliqueWith the Acrobat Reader program available for free, and continued support of the format, PDF eventually became the de facto standard for printable documents. In 2005, PDF/A became a de jure standard as ISO 19005-1:2005.[4] In 2008 Adobe's PDF 1.7 became ISO 32000-1:2008.
- Standard M Light ObliqueThere are many examples of de facto consolidation of a standard by market forces and competition, in a two-sided market, after a dispute, for example with VHS and Betamax in the videotape format war.
- Standard L Light 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 S RegularA standard practice or procedure gives a set of instructions for performing operations or functions. For example, there are detailed standard operating procedures for operation of a nuclear power plant.
- Standard M RegularJoint technical committee on information technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) developed a procedure in order for de facto standards to be processed through the formal standardization system to be transformed into international standards from ISO and IEC.
- 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 ObliqueAccording 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 Regular ObliqueVoluntary 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 L Regular ObliqueThere are many examples of de facto consolidation of a standard by market forces and competition, in a two-sided market, after a dispute, for example with VHS and Betamax in the videotape format war.
- Standard S MediumTeX 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 M MediumTechnical 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 MediumWhen a geographically defined community must solve a community-wide coordination problem, it can adopt an existing standard or produce a new one.
- Standard S Medium ObliqueTeX 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 M Medium ObliqueDMX512 (commonly just DMX) with XLR connector to control and sometimes power stage and venue lights, effects, smoke machines, laser projectors, and pyrotechnics.
- Standard L Medium 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 S SemiboldOther standards make things work together. For example, rail cars with a standard gauge can run on tracks that follow the same standard.
- Standard M SemiboldTechnical standards may exist as closed or controlled documents that contain trade secrets or classified information
- Standard L 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 S Semibold ObliqueA standard practice or procedure gives a set of instructions for performing operations or functions. For example, there are detailed standard operating procedures for operation of a nuclear power plant.
- Standard M Semibold 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 L 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 S BoldIn 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 M BoldANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard L BoldMicrosoft 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 S Bold 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 M Bold ObliqueAlthough ANSI itself does not develop standards, the Institute oversees the development and use of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations.
- Standard L Bold ObliqueIn 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 S HeavyBecause of the great influence of the IBM PC on the personal computer market, competing products like the Rainbow 100 were eventually withdrawn.
- Standard M HeavyThe 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 L HeavyTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard S Heavy ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard M Heavy ObliquePrivate 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 Heavy ObliqueThere are many different standards in many fields of daily life. Standards are important so that correct comparisons can be produced.
- Standard S BlackFor example, there may be a specification for a turbine blade for a jet engine that defines the exact material and performance requirements.
- Standard M BlackThere are many examples of de facto consolidation of a standard by market forces and competition, in a two-sided market, after a dispute, for example with VHS and Betamax in the videotape format war.
- Standard L BlackA standard guide is general information or options that do not require a specific course of action. A standard definition is formally established terminology.
- Standard S 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 M Black ObliquePCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard L 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.
