"we made these up"?! That's insulting. Is it in NASAR's
interest, for you to pretend to stand on higher ground than
anyone else?
Any jurisdiction that adopts a standard pro forma, because
an authority (national or not) put it out, is incompetent.
The claim I would expect is this: "the standard we have
adopted has also been adopted by X, Y, and Z" jurisdictions
and is endorsed by "A, B, and C" professional organizations.
