Externally-maintained standards
Some early TDWG standards are now maintained by other organizations. This page provides links to those standards.
The standards listed on this page were ratified as TDWG standards prior to the adoption of the current standards development process in 2006. Although TDWG no longer has any role in maintaining them, TDWG still recommends their use, even though they may not qualify as Current Standards under the present-day documentation and maintenance criteria.
