 | | ISO 8601 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html Used in most countries, used only partially in English-speaking countries, used relatively little in the US (where a strange am/pm convention dominates, even though the 23:59 notation is widely known and understood). |
 | | ISO 8601 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html Used in some countries, far less widely used than 23:59, has recently become the official date notation (or at least an officially recognised alternative notation) in most European countries, widely used in parts of Asia as well. |
 | | ISO 7000, ISO 3864, IEC 417, UN road sign guidelines Some of these are extremely widely known, at least in industrialised countries, (eg., the IEC 417 symbols on tape recorders, copying machines, and telephones, etc., the ISO 3864 warning symbols for ionising radiation, biohazards,flammable materials, poisons, explosives, etc.). |
