Subfamilies
- Standard S LightThe 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 LightAlthough 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 LightIn 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 Light ObliqueUSB 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 M Light ObliqueANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard L Light ObliqueIt is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, and practices.
- Standard S RegularNot 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 RegularANSI's market-driven, decentralized approach has been criticized in comparison with more planned and organized international approaches to standardization.
- Standard L RegularThe MP3 audio format started as an alternative to WAV for internet music distribution, then replaced it. It is now supported by the vast majority of music players, audio transport, audio storage, and non-commercial media.
- Standard S Regular 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 Regular ObliqueUse 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 L Regular ObliqueOther standards make things work together. For example, rail cars with a standard gauge can run on tracks that follow the same standard.
- Standard S MediumPDF 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 M MediumANSI was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
- Standard L 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 S 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 M Medium 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 L Medium 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 SemiboldWhen a geographically defined community must solve a community-wide coordination problem, it can adopt an existing standard or produce a new one.
- Standard M SemiboldAccording 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 L SemiboldInternational standards is one way of overcoming technical barriers in inter-local or inter-regional commerce caused by differences among technical regulations and standards developed independently and separately by each local, local standards organisation, or local company.
- Standard S Semibold 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 M Semibold 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 Semibold 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 BoldA 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 BoldTechnical 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 BoldWith 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 S 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 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 ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard S HeavyAlthough ANSI itself does not develop standards, the Institute oversees the development and use of standards by accrediting the procedures of standards developing organizations.
- Standard M HeavyA standard guide is general information or options that do not require a specific course of action. A standard definition is formally established terminology.
- Standard L HeavyThe 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 S Heavy 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 M Heavy ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
- Standard L Heavy ObliqueIn 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 S BlackThe 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 M 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 L BlackProgramming languages that have multiple implementations such as PHP tend to also have a de facto standard. In PHP's case the de facto standard is the binaries available from php.net, rather than the Phalanger implementation.
- Standard S Black ObliqueTechnical standards may exist as closed or controlled documents that contain trade secrets or classified information
- Standard M Black 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 L Black ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as voluntary consensus standards, which are standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, domestic (national), regional and international.
