The situation finally changed in 2018, when the local standard DIN 66399 (applicable in Germany, although it was also used in other countries due to the lack of detailed regulations) was replaced by

IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), have cooperated to establish a joint technical committee, ISO \/ IEC JTC, in the field of information technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISO\/IEC 21964
