Subfamilies
- Standard S LightBNC 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.
- Standard M LightFor example, there may be a specification for a turbine blade for a jet engine that defines the exact material and performance requirements.
- Standard L LightThere are many different standards in many fields of daily life. Standards are important so that correct comparisons can be produced.
- Standard S 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 M Light 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 Light Oblique2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pin spacing on many electronic components, including DIP, SIL packages, header connectors, and many more. The standard spacing enable use of these devices in prototyping boards and standardized sockets.
- Standard S RegularThere 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 M 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 L RegularPhone 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 S Regular ObliqueA standard guide is general information or options that do not require a specific course of action. A standard definition is formally established terminology.
- Standard M Regular 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 L Regular ObliqueThe 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 S MediumIn 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 M MediumIt is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, and practices.
- Standard L MediumTechnical 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 S Medium ObliqueThe 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 Medium ObliquePCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard L Medium ObliquePhone 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 S SemiboldProgramming 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 M SemiboldTechnical standards are defined as voluntary consensus standards, which are standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, domestic (national), regional and international.
- Standard L SemiboldThe ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
- Standard S Semibold 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 Semibold 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.
- Standard L Semibold 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 BoldAccording 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 BoldThe 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 BoldCommunication protocols such as Morse code and USB are standards that allow different machines and people to communicate.
- Standard S Bold ObliqueA 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 M Bold ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as voluntary consensus standards, which are standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, domestic (national), regional and international.
- Standard L Bold ObliqueInternational 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 HeavyA 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 HeavyA 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 L HeavyANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard S Heavy ObliqueGPIB, 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 Heavy ObliquePCI Express electrical and mechanical interface, and interconnect protocol used in computers, servers, and industrial applications.
- Standard L Heavy ObliqueTechnical standards are defined as industry standards, also referred to as private standards, which are standards developed in the private sector but not in the full consensus process, typically requiring a financial contribution.
- Standard S BlackANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard M Black2.54 mm (0.1 inch) pin spacing on many electronic components, including DIP, SIL packages, header connectors, and many more. The standard spacing enable use of these devices in prototyping boards and standardized sockets.
- Standard L BlackPDF 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 Black ObliqueDMX512 (commonly just DMX) with XLR connector to control and sometimes power stage and venue lights, effects, smoke machines, laser projectors, and pyrotechnics.
- Standard M Black 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 Black ObliqueIt is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, and practices.
