I haven't been able to find a clear definition of what a standard is, but ISO certainly produces standards. On the other hand, W3C only produces recommendations, which may be submitted to standards bodies. W3C never claims to produce standards! The reason may be that W3C is a consortium - but I guess you need a lawyer to tell the difference. Yaronf 22:54 Mar 12, 2003 (UTC)
The source for the military (NATO) definition is http://www.nato.int/docu/stanag/aap006/aap6.htm -80.133.100.144 00:02, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
My perception is that there are some subtle differences between the british notion of standardization and the american english notion of standardisation. The first one appears to me dealing with compliance, the latter one dealing with conformance. This maybe of interest to the community of lawyers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carsten.hatger (talk • contribs) 20:37, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
To me, standards are just an attempt to organize things. Maybe I'm using the wrong word, but ultimelly I've always seem standardization as a way to set rules for better organizing anything by grouping into categories and trying to make it clear and common.
For example cable standards (RCA, etc), TV standards (Pal-M, NTSC), internet standards (HTTP) all fit in that description.
Anyway, maybe I'm thinking in one concept and using the wrong word, but I still couldn't find a better (english) word for it. Also haven't looked too deep yet... :P
I'm quite surprised to see some articles in wikipedia where it goes way too technical in one field instead of the generic aspect view of it. I'd say this is one.

Anyone? - FrancisTyers 23:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I found the definition of de facto and de jure with regards to Standardisation that is given in this page to be at odds with a number of other sources. The impression given here is that de jure standards are ones that are used due to legal contract, whereas in other places (for example in a paper by Erik Duval entitled "Learning Technology Standardization: Making Sense of it all" [1]) de jure standards are those that are created by entities such as ISO and may or may not have mandated use associated with them. Duval also lists Microsoft Office as a de facto standard, illustrative of the issue that things that we sometimes call "standard" are often not necessarily "bringing benefits without hurting competition". This point might more correctly be associated with "Open standardisation". --JBrusey 23:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard of the term s13n. Can anyone add into this article how the term s13n came about, and why it means standardization?

OK! Please Clean it! -- Krauss 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I would be willing to clean up the definition of "technical standardization" and also clean up the definition of "technical standard." The former would be a major change as much that is discussed under standardization seems to belong under standards. However, I cannot contribute to the other non-technical uses of the terms standardization and standards. So if this task can be parsed, I am qualified to address a part of it. For my qualification please see http://www.csrstds.com/klist.html

The article "Standardization" requires cleanup? Doesn't anyone see the irony in that? Zeratul En Taro Adun!So be it. 20:37, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
The irony was certainly not lost on me... 203.97.144.176 03:48, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
The articles are so related: the Standardization is the process adopted in the Standards organizations for produce Standards. There are more people for write a good article (!).
Please vote and justify:
Merge with the Standards organization article
Merge with the Standard article
Not merge
How are they kept updated? Bring out difference between ‘artifact’ and ‘quantum’ standards with a suitable example.
When ISO is developing Standards, why does each country have its own body to make standards. (They can straightway adopt ISO standards and save on time and money.) Explain. Give two such examples of our country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.131.114.202 (talk) 09:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Am I the only person who thinks that this article doesn't really cite any references for stated 'facts' even when it is written asif a direct quote from something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chad.wilko (talk • contribs) 09:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
In the various articles related to standardization and technical standards I failed to see any mention of even the most basic standards, like those kept by national bureaus for weight and measures. Also missing are the most basic electrical standards (voltages, frequencies) and standard screw sizes.
I would like to add some information on the historical development of standards and the role of machine tool builders, but see no place that this fits into anything written here.Phmoreno (talk) 01:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
It does not belong in the article. I would create a disambiguation page if knew how and had time.Phmoreno (talk) 01:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Why? This seems like irrelevant information. It even pushes the Maudslay screwcutter picture way down into the next section. Can someone explain, in detail, why this is a helpful image for the topic of Standardization? Or delete it?

Apart from noticing someone trying to be either funny or unethical in their use of "disinterested", I'm interested if there's anything to back up the statement about the reasons for not using the word "standard" in the name of RFCs or W3C Recs. If there is, then let's see it cited, perhaps? Both are standards according to the definition given at the beginning of this article.
they are rarely referred to as standards, so as to preserve that word as the domain of relatively disinterested bodies such as ISO
(in the section "Usage / information exchange")
(And as far as "being referred to" is concerned, then yes, they are constantly referred to as "standards" by anyone with even half a foot in the area.) I'll edit out the "relatively disinterested" for now. Bansp (talk) 20:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
