====Standard Guidelines====
In 1960, the European Community for Coal and Steel (ECCS) first recommended guidelines for spirometry.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jouasset|first=D|year=1960|title=Normalisation des épreuves fonctionnelles respiratoires dans les pays de la Communauté Européenne du Charbon et de l'Acier|journal=Poumon Coeur|volume=16|pages=1145–1159}}</ref> The organization then published predicted values for parameters such as spirometric indices, residual volume, total lung capacity, and functional residual capacity in 1971.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Cara|first1=M|last2=Hentz|first2=P|year=1971|title=Aidemémoire of spirographic practice for examining ventilatory function, 2nd edn|journal=Industrial Health and Medicine Series|volume=11|pages=1–130}}</ref> The American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society also recommends race-specific reference values when available.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Pelligrino|first1=R|last2=Viegi|first2=G|last3=Bursaco|first3=V|last4=Crapo|first4=RO|last5=Burgos|first5=F|last6=Casaburi|first6=R|year=2005|title=Interpretive strategies for lung function tests|journal=European Respiratory Journal|volume=26|issue=5|pages=948–68|doi=10.1183/09031936.05.00035205|pmid=16264058|doi-access=free}}</ref> Even today, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s Spirometry Training Guide that is linked to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website notes the use of race correction and a race-specific reference value in step four of "normal" spirometry.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2004-154c/|title=CDC - NIOSH Publications and Products - NIOSH Spirometry Training Guide (2004-154c)|date=December 2003|website=cdc.gov|access-date=2017-04-14}}</ref>
