Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A de jure standard is a technical standard established by the government or other regulatory bodies. An electrical outlet with technical standards established by the government falls under this category. A de facto standard, on the other hand, is a technical standard that has become popular through widespread use rather than regulatory action. Socio-political and external institutional standards are not relevant in this context.
