It is of course transliteration standards that should say something

ISO standards have always identified the characters used for
transliteration by reference to ISO 5426.
Sorry, my memory did not serve me well. I think you have previously referred
to such identifications in some discussions. I guess I had forgotten this
due to my frustration: having tried to find definitive information on this,
I got confused and found contradictions.
I believe there are mapping tables from ISO 5426, DIN 31624, ANSI
Z39.47 to Unicode.
Apparently there are _several_ mapping tables, with e.g. four (or more?)
alternative mappings for PRIME, and whatever their status might be, they
aren't part of a transliteration standard that refers to, say, ISO 5426.
