Upgrade StorageWanted: "Standard" document type
Very important for people in engineering disciplines.
These are generally similar to the "Statute" type--in fact, some of them are referenced in statues. Generally there is a standards organization--ANSI, ISO, ASTM, IEEE, and so on--and a number. Often there are two; a national or trade organization that writes the standard and assigns its number (ASTM, IEEE, IESNA, IETF, etc.) and an umbrella national or international organization which assigns a different number gives the standard regulatory force (ISO, ANSI, DIN, JIS, CCITT, etc.)
There is usually a collective author, that is often a designated committee: IEEE 802 Committee, or a subgroup: IEEE 802.14 working group.
Standards in progress sometimes have different designations than finished standards; sometimes they only have names, rather than numbers.
Sample citation formats can be found in the following stylebooks:
ASTM: http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/Blue_Book.pdf
See section G22
