Subfamilies
- Standard S LightTechnical 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 M LightNot 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 LightA 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 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 was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
- Standard L Light 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 RegularTechnical standards are defined as voluntary consensus standards, which are standards developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, domestic (national), regional and international.
- Standard M RegularThe 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 L RegularANSI's market-driven, decentralized approach has been criticized in comparison with more planned and organized international approaches to standardization.
- Standard S 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 M Regular ObliqueFor example, there may be a specification for a turbine blade for a jet engine that defines the exact material and performance requirements.
- Standard L Regular ObliqueA 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 MediumTechnical standards may exist as closed or controlled documents that contain trade secrets or classified information
- Standard M MediumPrivate 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 MediumDMX512 (commonly just DMX) with XLR connector to control and sometimes power stage and venue lights, effects, smoke machines, laser projectors, and pyrotechnics.
- Standard S Medium 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 M Medium ObliqueStandard units, in physics and applied mathematics, are commonly accepted measurements of physical quantities.
- 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 SemiboldANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of other standards organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others.
- Standard M SemiboldJoint 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 SemiboldStandard units, in physics and applied mathematics, are commonly accepted measurements of physical quantities.
- Standard S Semibold ObliqueCommunication protocols such as Morse code and USB are standards that allow different machines and people to communicate.
- Standard M 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 L Semibold 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 S BoldThere are many different standards in many fields of daily life. Standards are important so that correct comparisons can be produced.
- Standard M BoldA 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 BoldA 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 S Bold 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 Bold 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 L Bold 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 S HeavyThe ANSI/APSP (Association of Pool & Spa Professionals) standards used for pools, spas, hot tubs, barriers, and suction entrapment avoidance.
- Standard M 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.

In contrast, an enforced de jure standard is a solution to the prisoner's problem.
- Standard L Heavy ObliqueANSI's market-driven, decentralized approach has been criticized in comparison with more planned and organized international approaches to standardization.
- Standard S 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 M BlackWhen a geographically defined community must solve a community-wide coordination problem, it can adopt an existing standard or produce a new one.
- Standard L 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 S Black ObliqueANSI was most likely formed in 1918, when five engineering societies and three government agencies founded the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC).
- Standard M Black 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 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.
