"Product Standard" that specifies improvement, measurement and quality of product
"Procedure Standard" that stipulates testing/analysis/inspection/measurement method and process standard, etc.
"Horizontal Standard" that specifies terminology, technical characteristics, unit and numerical progression, etc.
Classification of KS
