Talk:List of international common standards

Definition please

edit

The article sorely needs an inclusion criterion. What are definitions of "common and basic information standard" and "conventionally used internationally"? Are mathematics and the periodic table really "information standards"? Is sign language any more standardized internationally than spoken language?  --Lambiam 14:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree. This is a poorly defined list. ike9898 (talk) 01:03, 8 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
I’ve edited the lead-in and description to more clearly define inclusion criterion, and these are what I think are the types of technical standards which should be considered to be included:

Classification of "electronic symbols"

We should probably agree first if "electronics" here means physics or technology. Circuit topology and labeling of controls in consumer electronics look like rather different topics to me. ElPeste (talk) 09:07, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think the electronics listed could be considered either physics or technology, although I think these terms are categorised in broad terms for the list to be as comprehensive as possible even though some parts of the list are short. RW Marloe (talk) 10:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
