I thought that was a really good parody. So good, in fact, that I 
looked up 6008:1980 just to see whether tha specification really 
existed.

For those who care, BS6008:1980, ISO3103-1980, really is "Method for 
preparation of a liquor of tea for use in sensory tests"... And there 
was me wondering what "real" standards bodies actually did.
