Common-Text Joint Recommendation

InternationalRec | ISO/IEC

Description

Recommendations co-published verbatim with ISO/IEC under the common-text agreement. Identified by a pipe-separated pair: "Recommendation ITU-T [X-series] | ISO/IEC [number]".

Syntax

ITU Recommendations follow the pattern: ITU-[Sector] [Series][Number]-[Year]. Sectors include R (Radiocommunication), T (Telecommunication Standardization), and D (Telecommunication Development). The long-form "Recommendation ITU-[Sector] ..." prefix is accepted. Editions may be suffixed bis/ter/quater. Common-text identifiers co-published with ISO/IEC use the pipe separator: "Recommendation ITU-T X.1234 | ISO/IEC 5678-1".
