The C programming language began to be standardized some time around 1985 by the ANSI X3J9 committee.
Several years of effort went by, and in 1989 ANSI approved the new standard. An ISO committee ratified it a year later in 1990 after adding an amendment dealing with internationalization issues. The 1989 C standard is known officially as ANSI/ISO 9899-1989, Programming Languages - C, and this document refers to the 1989 C standard as C89. The 1990 ISO revision of the standard is known officially as ISO/IEC 9899-1990, Programming Languages - C, which is referred to in this document as "C90". The C Library Reference Guide.
