 ISO/IEC 8859 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 8859 sought to remedy this problem by utilizing the eighth bit in an 8-bit byte in order to allow positions for another 128 characters.
The ISO 8859 standard is designed for reliable information exchange, not typography; the standard omits symbols needed for high-quality typography, such as optional ligatures, curly quotation marks, dashes, etc. As a result, high-quality typesetting systems often use proprietary or idiosyncratic extensions on top of the ASCII and ISO 8859 standards, or use Unicode instead.
ISO 8859 was favored throughout the 1990s, having the advantages of being well-established and more easily implemented in software: the equation of one byte to one character is simple and adequate for most single-language applications, and there are no combining characters or variant forms.

 International standard date and time notation
ISO 8601 is only specifying numeric notations and does not cover dates and times where words are used in the representation.
This means for example that ISO 8601 does not define whether 09:00 refers to the exact end of the ninth hour of the day or the period from 09:00 to 09:01 or anything else.
ISO 8601 has been adopted as European Standard EN 28601 and is therefore now a valid standard in all EU countries and all conflicting national standards have been changed accordingly.

International Standard ISO 31 [1,2], based on the International System of Units (SI), defines quantities and units for various fields of science and technology.
ISO 31 is well-accepted around the world, but it currently excludes units for 'information content', and no other comprehensive formal standard specifying units for information technology exists.
In this case, a subscripted digit 2 shall be appended to the abbreviation of the SI prefix and the syllable 'di' is added before the prefix name.

 Stewart's corner
In accordance with an ISO Council decision, the decimal sign is a comma in all ISO documents.
It would be reasonable to guess that 90% of native English readers have never heard of the Council decision in ISO 31-0 and using a comma as a decimal marker in English is probably going to be interpreted as a thousand marker.
ISO 31-0 also considers the confusion of a price in an English document written with a thousand marker as it sometimes is in Norwegian.
