Dear Christian, thanks for your pointers!
I clicked on the first part of the three parts you have listed. It tells me to pay 162 Swiss Franks to even read the standard. Wikimedia is devoted to free knowledge, which includes the software and standards we use. Therefore I am afraid that such a standard is not very high on our priorities for things to be considered for our mission.
