rule / period
'die Regel' and 'der Standard' can both say how something should be done. A 'Regel', however, is usually a concrete rule: it says what is allowed, what is not allowed, or how one should behave. A 'Standard' more often describes an accepted level or norm that is considered normal, appropriate, or good. In technology and at work, a standard can also be defined very precisely. Learners may confuse the words because both provide guidance. As a practical rule: for behavior and clear instructions, 'Regel' often fits; for quality, technology, or general norms, 'Standard' is more likely.
