ICE
1 Codes
Codes
A system of words, letters, figures, or other symbols substituted
for other words, letters, etc., especially for the purposes of
secrecy ~Oxford dictionary

Synonyms: Cypher, Key

5
Codes
A code is a set of rules, sometimes adopted by law, that manufacturers
and engineers must abide by to achieve a satisfactory level of safety and
reliability.

Codes are more strict than standards, especially if adopted by law.


Noncompliance to codes can have dire consequences that could result in
accidents, injury or even death. A code may dictate how the structure of
a building is constructed and which materials are used. Not following the
code may result in the building collapsing and the potential for injury by
6 its inhabitants.

Standards
A level of quality or attainment. ~Oxford dictionary

An idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in


comparative evaluations. ~Oxford dictionary

Synonyms: quality, level, grade, degree, worth

8
Standards
In its most basic form, a standard is a technical guideline used
by manufacturers and engineers in order to create a uniform
product that can be produced independently by unrelated
individuals, groups or companies. Adherence to standard by a
manufacturer or company can be optional or have options that
allow the user some leeway.

9
Standards (example)
Mobile phones are a good example of the optional use of a
standard. Not all mobile phones have adopted the same
standard for the communications and charging port, but those
that do adhere to a particular standard, are all interchangeable.
