This research presents an analysis of the application and acceptance of various standards in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). Employing t-test statistical analysis, the study analyzes differences between groups of standards in three key categories: implementation complexity, adoption level, and citation frequency. The results show that communication and networking standards—such as IEEE 802.15.4, CoAP, and 6LoWPAN—are cited significantly more often and demonstrate higher adoption rates in both scientific literature and industry, compared to architectural and security standards, including IEEE P2413, ISO/IEC 30141, and ISO/IEC 27030. However, no statistically significant differences were found in implementation complexity among the analyzed groups. Based on these findings, the study recommends the continued development and deployment of communication standards, while suggesting that architectural and security standards be enhanced through simplified implementation and stronger integration into industrial solutions. Future research could further examine the influence of various factors on the acceptance and implementation of standards across different industrial sectors.
