The situation with GOSTs in Europe and the USA?

Question

Standardization

After a long fuss with various ESKD and ESPD, I became convinced of the exceptional harmfulness of these documents, both in terms of the effort spent on compiling them, and in terms of the quality of the output material.
By God - the content may be zero, but you need to observe 1001 nuances of design.
Question. How is it abroad? I heard that there are no GOSTs there, there is only ISO, in which the main criterion is precisely to make the essence clear.
Who faced, tell please and show if you can examples.

1. About "I was convinced of the exceptional harmfulness of these documents" - in vain you are so. GOST defines not so much the design (yes, there are certain problems with this in terms of the obsolescence of the terms used), but the structure and content of documents. And this is much more important. It's just that people pay attention to the outside of the issue (design), not paying attention to the inside - the content and structure. By the way, some technologies allow you to forget about the "registration of GOST" and focus on the "content of GOST". For example, https://bitbucket.org/Lab50/espd-docbook5/ - using templates allows you to make Docbook 5 documents in "GOST design"
2. There's not only ISO, but also IEEE and other industry standards. But there is another feature - there is a recommendation. Those. you may or may not follow. Because of this, two documents made according to ISO|IEEE can differ dramatically (I'm talking about content, not about design).
3. Examples of what? Standards with their numbers?
