What is "standard" in Russian

[David Powelstock]

Um, I'm not sure I understand the original English, but if 'standard' here
is to mean some sort of mark or model against which something is to be
measured, perhaps the needed Russian word is _norma_ (like English 'norm,'
but with wider usage).

Hope that helps.

Best,
David
