- Beginner 1, Course 8
Although the standardisation literature offers various classifications of standards, many of these classifications seem to be unsystematic. 1 A systematic classification might be beneficial for SDOs, as they could describe standardisation projects, develop criteria to determine if standards are within their scope, and enhance the identification of standards. 2 The same author added that a systematic classification might
be beneficial for SDOs users, as well.
After completing this module, you should be able to:
- Understand the need for the classification of standards;
- Understand subject-matter-related classifications;
- Understand classifications related to standards development;
- Understand classifications related to standards use;
- Explain the differences between de jure and de facto standards;
- Explain the differences between horizontal and vertical standards; and
- Understand that standards developed by professional and industrial associations, business associations, consortia, and fora may eventually become formal standards.
