Standards
Unlike most other languages the assembly language is not an artificial language that requires standardisation but rather an implementation of a practical reality that came into existence when a specific CPU was designed and manufactured, so the standard is the actual documentation of a hardware implementation. That means for 8, 16 and 32 bit processors the "standard" are the processor and programming manuals from Intel while for 64 bit assembly language you need to look towards similar manuals from AMD.
