As the name already indicates, standards with prefix “ISO” (International

Not all ISO standards are adopted by all ISO body members. ISO 8596 is
adopted by all the European members.

Cite evidence.


No. You're not worth the effort.


Fallacies you just committed:

- explicit: /argumentum ad personam/
- implicit: /argumentum ad ignorantiam/

Your attempt to create a diversion by turning this factual question into
an opinion about me is unsuccessful.

ISO 8596(:2017) is an international standard:

https://www.iso.org/standard/69042.html

You have claimed:

“Not all ISO standards are adopted by all ISO body members. ISO 8596 is
adopted by all the European members.”

Your claim that an international standard would NOT be adopted by all
member states who are participating in creating exactly that standard
is an extraordinary one.

Your second claim which implies that *only* "the European members" would
have adopted it, is also an extraordinary one. To begin with, what are
"the European members" – member states of the EU, EFTA, something else?

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
–Carl Sagan

You have NOT provided the required evidence, let alone extraordinary
evidence, to support your (extraordinary) claims.

Therefore, your claims stand unfounded.

Therefore, judgment must be reserved on those claims.
