Scope:
ISO/IEC 10967-2 defines the properties of numerical approximations for many of the real elementary numerical functions available in standard libraries for a variety of languages in common use for mathematical and numerical applications.
An implementor may choose any combination of hardware and software support to meet the specifications of ISO/IEC 10967-2. It is the computing environment, as seen by the programmer/user, that does or does not conform to the specifications.
The term implementation of ISO/IEC 10967-2 denotes the total computing environment, including hardware, language processors, subroutine libraries, exception handling facilities, other software, and all pertinent documentation.
