Accepted standards refer to a set of rules, regulations, and guidelines that are generally accepted by a group or society. The term can be broken down into three parts: NORMS (5 letters), CANON (5 letters), and pars (4 letters). NORMS refer to the accepted behaviors and customs of a particular group or society. CANON refers to a set of principles or rules that are considered authoritative and binding. Finally, pars refer to the accepted rules and regulations that are used to interpret and apply the CANON. Together, these three components form the accepted standards of a particular group or society.
