ISO/WD 24896

Standard notation for business reports

Scope

This standard establishes a consistent semantic notation for business communication with written
reports, live presentations, and analytic dashboards (referred to collectively as “reports”). It specifies
requirements for the visual appearance of recurring aspects such as the labelling of content, the layout
of charts and tables, the representation of data values, as well as the visualization of their
characteristics.
All requirements are applicable to reports of all organizations, regardless of their type, size, location, or
the nature of the services delivered.
