ISO/IEC 10967

ISO/IEC 10967, Language independent arithmetic (LIA), is a series of standards on computer arithmetic. It is compatible with IEC 60559 (more known as IEEE 754 or IEC 559), and indeed much of the specifications in parts 2 and 3 are for IEEE 754 special values (though such values are not required).

LIA currently consists of three parts:

  • Part 1: Integer and floating point arithmetic, first edition published 1994.
  • Part 2: Elementary numerical functions, first edition published 2001.
  • Part 3: Complex integer and floating point arithmetic and complex elementary numerical functions, first edition published 2006.
