IEEE format for a standard
Title of Standard, Standard Number, Year.
Example
IEEE, IEEE Standard for Ethernet, IEEE Std 802.3ba-2010, 2010.
In-text citation
IEEE uses a numbered in-text citation in square brackets, e.g. [1], placed where you refer to the source. Reuse the same number every time you cite that standard, and cite ranges as [1]–[3].
Handling missing information
Standards usually have no individual author; cite the issuing body, the standard title, and the designation number.
