Definition please
editThe 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)
- I agree. This is a poorly defined list. ike9898 (talk) 01:03, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- 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:
- Are benchmarks, guidelines or protocols for communication, measurement, orientation, reference for information, science, symbols and time.
- Have been established worldwide and used globally by industry and organizations.
- Are in frequent and widespread use and accepted as best practice.
- May be used formally or informally and might not be fully recognised by all governments or organizations.

Classification of "electronic symbols"
editWe 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)
- 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)
