Usage notes

  • Use standard for an official norm or accepted level; use modello for a product type, and criterio for a judging criterion.
  • Often appears in fixed phrases: standard di qualità, standard di sicurezza, standard di vita. Di standard alone is uncommon in Italian.
  • After standard, use di + noun: standard di produzione, not standard per produzione in most cases.
