German Institute for Standardization.

The DIN is a non-profit, registered association whose task is the development of standards. It also represents German interests in international standardization bodies and adopts international standards for Germany.

There are also DIN standards in the field of Hifi and sound technology. For example, the now outdated DIN 45500 series of standards is still known, which set minimum requirements for Hi-fi devices. Today, corresponding requirements are internationally standardized, the corresponding standards (e.g. by the IEC ) are also recognized by the DIN.

The abbreviation is also used informally, e.g. in the designation DIN connector.
