1. Professional standards of personal conduct.

2. Institutional codes of ethics.

C. "Performance standard" is a standard as defined above that states requirements in

terms of required results with criteria for verifying compliance but without stating the

methods for achieving required results. A performance standard may define the

juxtaposition to a prescriptive standard which may specify design requirements, such

as materials to be used, how a requirement is to be achieved, or how an item is to be

fabricated or constructed.

D. "Non-government standard" is a standard as defined above that is in the form of a

standardization document developed by a private sector association, organization or

technical society which plans, develops, establishes or coordinates standards,

specifications, handbooks, or related documents.
