It is true that Ioannis completely misunderstood the question.

You should understand that anything in that document is irrelevant in
comp.lang.c++, and your question just as off-topic here as it was in
comp.lang.c.

Even if there were a similar document for C and/or C++, it would be
off-topic in comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++.

Whatever "established standards" there might or might not be, they
would be off-topic in both comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++, unless they
were part of ISO 9899 and/or ISO 14882.

This discussion, as I already pointed out, belongs in groups like
news:comp.programming and news:comp.software-eng.  Language
subsetting, for whatever purpose, is not defined by the ISO standard
for either C or C++, and is not topical here.  Nor is safety critical
programming.
