I don't believe such standards exist... as far as I know, the only standard is that the help format can be connected to a Windows desktop application developed with one of the common development tools.

What I hear over and over again is that there are many help formats to chose
from. What are the basic standards these formats are based on? For
example, what are the standards set by someone like WWW3 who listens to the
technical communication industry and provides standards adopted by big
companies? What are the standards that have some basis in scientific
research on readability and overall use of online documentation?
