I'm not sure what you mean by "IEEE" in this sentence. (IEEE is a
professional organization.) There are numerous IEEE standards that are
definitely standards. All standards are recommendations, but sometimes
conformance is required by a government or other procuring organization or
by a development organizatrion that requires certain behavior on the part
of its programmers.
