"in standard" vs "standard"

When you say: "it's in standard" vs "it's standard," how are they meaningfully different? Is either one of them wrong? I guess standard in the latter is an adjective, and the former is a noun... then do you have to say "in the standard," "In a standard" or "in standard," if any of these are correct?

Thank you in advance.

RDK "in the standard," "In a standard" or "in standard," if any of these are correct? the BaBar experiment may suggest possible flaws in the standard model of particle physics. The words are formed across and down in crossword fashion and must appear in a standard dictionary.

I don't find any of those correct; I have never heard them in the way I think you want to use them (as for instance, 'This procedure is standard in our company,')

I can put them in different sorts of sentences, though:
