I can't speak for other hiring managers, but whenever I have referred to
industry standards, I have referred to them by name, i.e., 21CFRp11,
SEMI T6-0697, etc. These are standards for specific industries that writers in those industries are expected to produce documents to and
should be familiar with, not "technical writing standards." There are no industry-independent "technical writing standards."

I have a question about "industry standards". Something that I often see
included in job postings for technical writing positions is the line:
"Familiarity with industry standards". Does anyone know what this means or
what employers are looking for when they ask this? It seems like such an
open-ended question...
