Subfamilies
  • Standard S Light
    According 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 Light
    The 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 Light
    TeX 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 Oblique
    A 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 Oblique
    A 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 Oblique
    Microsoft 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
    The 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 Regular
    Microsoft 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 Regular
    Microsoft 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 Oblique
    Technical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
  • Standard M Regular Oblique
    Standards 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 Oblique
    In 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 Medium
    Voluntary 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 Medium
    Phone 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 Medium
    According 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 Oblique
    For 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 Oblique
    Because 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 Oblique
    Technical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
  • Standard S Semibold
    GPIB, 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 Semibold
    Technical standards may exist as closed or controlled documents that contain trade secrets or classified information
  • Standard L Semibold
    In 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 Oblique
    For 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 Oblique
    These 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 Oblique
    The ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
  • Standard S Bold
    ANSI was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
  • Standard M Bold
    MIDI 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 Bold
    A 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 Oblique
    A 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 Oblique
    Microsoft 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 Oblique
    There are many different standards in many fields of daily life. Standards are important so that correct comparisons can be produced.
  • Standard S Heavy
    Not 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 Heavy
    Technical 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 Heavy
    USB 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 Oblique
    The 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 Oblique
    Microsoft 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 Oblique
    Technical 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 Black
    Standards 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 Black
    TeX 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 Black
    Use 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 Oblique
    Other 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 Oblique
    Technical standards are defined as Government standards, which are standards developed by the government for its own uses.
  • Standard L Black Oblique
    MIDI connection (using DIN connector or Phone connector), electrical and protocol standard for connecting musical instruments, synthesizers, drum machines, sequencers, and some audio equipment.
