ISO 6709, Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates, is the international standard for representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations. The first edition ( ISO 6709:1983) was developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1 /SC 32. Later the standard was transferred to ISO/TC211, Geographic information ...
ISO 6709:1983 defined a specific format representation of latitude and longitude, and optionally altitude. ISO 6709:2008 revised the format representation of the 1983 edition by: — adding the ability to identify the coordinate reference system (CRS) to which coordinates are referenced, without which location is ambiguous, and.
Abstract. This document specifies the representation of latitude and longitude and optionally height or depth compatible with previous editions of ISO 6709. This document also supports the representations of other coordinate types and time that can be associated with those coordinates as defined through one or more coordinate reference systems ...

Abstract. ISO 6709:2008 is applicable to the interchange of coordinates describing geographic point location. It specifies the representation of coordinates, including latitude and longitude, to be used in data interchange. It additionally specifies representation of horizontal point location using coordinate types other than latitude and ...

The problem is the exact opposite: there are several competing standards. There's ISO 6709 which specifies Lat-Long and is followed by the EPSG:4326 Geodetic Parameter to represent coordinates on the World Geodetic System. But there's also the CRS:84 parameter which uses the same coordinate system but with inverted axis (Long-Lat).
ISO 6709: 1983 original degree representation The grid resolutions is a function of the number of digits — with leading zeroes filled when necessary, and fractional part with an appropriate number of digits to represent the required precision of the grid. Example: 38° 53 ′ 22.11″ N, 77° 2 ′ 6.88″ W. ISO 6709: 1983 7 decimal digits ...
9. ISO/WD 6709. Cancelled. Standard representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations. Scope. This document specifies the representation of latitude and longitude applicable to data interchange and human-readable representation and maintains strict backwards compatibility with previous editions of ISO 6709.
