Standards of questionable origin are fine when an engineer just needs to check something and the result is not critical. (Have you seen how many standards are called out in a simple specification document for something as mundane as a resistor? Don't tell me IEC 60757 is really worth owning!) Managers don't even have to know these standards exist.

Anything you claim compliance or certification with, though... that's your core business we're talking about! At least buy those from Estonia!
