Standards note: This is a selected reference set, not an exhaustive compliance list. Verify the current edition, jurisdictional adoption and project / OEM requirements before use.

Additional note: Verify applicable class notation, flag-state / coastal-state requirements and operator specifications. ISO 13628-8:2002 is not listed because ISO shows it as withdrawn; current ROV-interface work should be referenced through applicable API 17-series documents and project requirements.
