industry standard

Common professional practice

An industry standard is a widely accepted norm, specification, or practice within a particular field.

Products or methods that meet the industry standard conform to what's typical or expected: HDMI became the industry standard for video connections.

The phrase often implies baseline acceptability rather than excellence—meeting the standard means you're not falling behind, but not necessarily ahead either.
